Slain woman and kids Options

[Mommy]

This has got to be one of the saddest articles I have ever read.

Authorities on Sunday were trying to pinpoint the cause of death for three children an investigator says were found decomposing inside the washer and dryer of their apartment, hours after a woman was accused of killing their pregnant mother and her fetus

There is a snippet from the article, but I suggest reading the whole thing. Its very sad.

I think the nature of the murder is odd. I mean, what compells a woman to not only kill a mother and rip the fetus out of her stomach, but also to kill her 3 children and put them in the washer and dryer? I mean, seeing as how she told police where the children were, Im pretty sure she is guilty of killing them too. Why?

What made the Andrea Yates case so high profile? The backstory of why she killed them. I could see this becoming a high profile case based on her defense strategy.

You know, I sympathized with Andrea Yates for some reason. I mean, she was obviously mentally ill for a while and needed help. One day, she just snapped. I have a feeling this woman will attempt an insanity plea as well, but it wont work. This seemed way too thought out and planned from the little I read about it.
