Andrea Yates Gets Second Trial, Chance

Anonymous User writes "Looks like Andrea Yates will get her second go at pleading insanity due to postpartum depression. Another classic example of women using their femaleness as an excuse for their criminal behavior. They wouldn't do it if men weren't so gullible as to buy this bunk.
