This article about Rusty Yates starting a new family claims that his first wife was found “innocent” of killing their children.
Sloppy reporting like this misleads the public and could hurt people for whom “Not Guilty By Reason of Insanity” would be the appropriate result.
Andrea Yates was found innocent by reason of insanity in July 2006 and sent to a state mental hospital.
