Jury finds Andrea Yates guilty of capital murder

Larry J — 3/12/2002 11:08:52 AM (archived)

The judge just announced the verdict and they're polling the juriors. It didn't take them long to reach their decision. I doubt she'll be executed, if for no other reason than women are almost never executed. This sounds like one of those cases where the best verdict would be "guilty but insane" that some states allow.
