Every year, her case comes up for review and every year, her attorney says, she declines a hearing and choses to stay in a psychiatric hospital.
Andrea Yates, the 36-year-old mother who killed her five children in 2001 and was found not guilty by reason of insanity, has once again waived her annual right to a hearing that would determine if she eligible to leave a mental health facility.
She’s so happy when ... I go out to the cemetery and get some flowers for the kids. I’ll tell her what I’ve done and she’s delighted that someone is out there taking care of the kids’ graves."In 2002, Yates was convicted of capital murder, but the case was appealed and the verdict was overturned. In 2006,and was remanded to Kerrville State Hospital, a mental health facility in Texas, in January 2007.
"She is in Kerrville, but we waive these hearings," Parnham said of Yates, now 57."She comes up for review every year and we waive. What we do — and I do this for her — each year she comes up for review every year, and I represent her at the judge. We waive a hearing period." "I see her once maybe every two months. I talked to her last week. She has a cell phone and we visit," he said.
