Andrea Yates Life
- Andrea Pia Yates (née Kennedy; born July 2, 1964) is a former resident of Houston, Texas, who confessed to drowning her five children in their bathtub on June 20, 2001.
- She had been suffering for some time from very severe postpartum depression, postpartum psychosis and schizophrenia.
- During her trial, she was represented by Houston criminal defense attorney George Parnham.
- Chuck Rosenthal, the district attorney in Harris County, asked for the death penalty in her 2002 trial.
- Her case placed the M'Naghten Rules, along with the irresistible impulse test, a legal test for sanity, under close public scrutiny in the United States.
- She was convicted of capital murder, but the jury refused the death penalty option.
- She was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 40 years.
- The verdict was overturned on appeal, in light of false testimony by one of the expert psychiatric witnesses.On July 26, 2006, a Texas jury in her retrial found that Yates was not guilty by reason of insanity.
- She was consequently committed by the court to the North Texas State Hospital, Vernon Campus, a high-security mental health facility in Vernon, where she received medical treatment and was a roommate of Dena Schlosser, another woman who committed infanticide by killing her infant daughter.
- In January 2007, she was moved to a low security state mental hospital in Kerrville, Kerrville State Hospital.

Casey Anthony, a woman suspected of murdering Jorge Carreno (top inset), and Andrea Yates, who drowned her five children, were among the nine female killers (right). The picture had been downloaded to the 25-year-old's phone, as well as a caption titled "First Date With Me" that included pictures of duct tape, a knife, cord, and a handgun (bottom inset). When she was arrested in August 2023, police discovered the videos and some others of strangulation from one of two phones used by Blake. In July 2021, she is accused of stalking and killing 30-year-old Mr Carreno.

Andrea Yates drowned her five children in 2001 in Houston, Texas. Lindsay Clancy's attorneys say she was suffering the same postpartum psychosis that caused her to murder her three children. 'If I were driving our Suburban down the street and had a heart attack and swerved into oncoming traffic and everyone in the car died but me, would they prosecute me for capital murder and rub my face in crime scene photos?Of my children? I don't think so.' But Rusty says it's 100% the same to me. Clancy was convicted of suicide in court yesterday using Zoom from her hospital bed. She is ill after attempting to kill herself by removing from a top-floor window in the house.
