Yates Gets Life in Prison, Eligible For Parole in 40 Years

This story on CNN.com details the jury's sentence handed down on Andrea Yates today. Yates was convicted earlier this week of capital murder in the June drowning deaths of her children. Prosecutors were seeking the death penalty. "This crime is of horrific proportions," prosecutor Kaylynn Williford said during closing arguments Friday morning. "This crime is a crime of the ultimate betrayal -- the betrayal of a mother to her children."
