Andrea Yates Case

Testimony this Thursday morning began with a New York State Police Investigator who is part of the computer crimes unit. She said her analysis of Michael Beard's phone is that there was quiet a bit of deleting and a lot of powering off, including more than 100 deleted calls.

Since the prosecution was seeking the death penalty they needed to show that the crime was intentionally with ill intentions. Their basis was Casey killed her daughter to be free from duties as a parent and murdered her. A testimony from a

My conclusion is that yes, Yates is sick, but I feel a strong possibility of her understanding the wrongness of her actions to the rest of society but in her opinion acted in the greater good based on religiously psychotic feeling of heaven and hell which was a foundation of making a decision to take her children’s lives while understanding it was wrong and should have been dealt with by a swifter and stronger hand of justice. My opinion aside this is the conclusion and information brought forth by unbiased research as to the case and analysis of Yates. Only one of a twelve mental health experts who testified concluded that the Yates was legally sane when she drowned her five children in the family bathtub.

Louise Gosselin has undergone a life of many obstacles. She struggled with drug and alcohol addiction, as well as psychological problems. As a result of this she has been in and out of numerous jobs of various nature. For the majority of her adult life she has received social assistance. When Quebec decided to change its existing social assistance scheme in 1984, Louise felt her constitutional and provincial rights were violated, resulting in her pursuit of legal action. This is how the case of Gosselin v. A.G. (Quebec) came to be.

Casey Anthony is an Ohio-born and Florida-raised woman that had a daughter named Caylee Anthony be born on August 9, 2005. In the summer of June 2008, following a major argument with her parents, Cindy and George Anthony, who were questioning her suitability as a mother figure, Casey left her parents’ home with Caylee. Over the next couple of weeks, Cindy kept reaching out to Casey concerned about both her and Caylee’s whereabouts. Every time Casey was inquired about Caylee, she would report that Caylee was out under the care of her nanny, Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez. Nothing seemed amiss until July 13, 2008 when George and Cindy received a notice that Casey’s car was currently being held in a tow yard. Upon their arrival to pick up the car,

The stories about Andrea being insane and having a psychological disorder do not prove to be true. According to Dr. Puryear, “Mrs. Yates was insane at the time driven by delusions that they were going to hell and she must save them.” If her doctor was aware of her status before all this happened, why did he let her be at home? Yates should have been helped and treated, since Dr. Puryear claims she had suffered from psychotic delusions. Dr. Puryear said “This woman did not now right from wrong,” as he stated to Court Television Network, on February 2,2002. It is somewhat strange how Mr. Yates claims he had no suspicions of her being unhealthful in the mind. What kind of married couple will not be able to detect this in their partner? Some of the jurors believed Andrea was mentally ill, but they also believed that she knew right from wrong. This is a key element in determining if the Andrea meets the legal definition of insanity.

This case was a very significant ruling for special education evident with numerous studies positing that the ruling of this 1982 case was perhaps the most important special education decision by the Supreme Court and to this day, continues to have a profound effect on the education of students with disabilities. Additionally, this was the first time that the Supreme Court had to interpret portions of the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA 1990), which was then the Education for All Handicapped Children Act (EAHCA) as it relates to what constituted a free and appropriate education (FAPE) in the least restrictive environment (LRE).

Andrea Yates was a mother of five who lived in a Houston suburb. Andrea suffered from serve postpartum depression and psychosis which unfortunately lead her to drown all five of children in a bath tub one afternoon. Andrea was charged with capital murder and was given life in prison with the possibility of parole after 40 years. However, she filed an appeal, and her original sentence was overturned, and she was found in innocent in 2006 on reason of insanity. I’m going to explain her upbringing and her mental health influenced her to murdering her children.

I would go for a targeted communication strategy to each of the different stakeholders. The first one will be to Jessica’s parents to re-explain the true nature of these unfortunate circumstances. I would explain to them the entire process and where we went wrong and apologize. I would also convey that the unfortunate circumstances were not specifically targeted at them but it was a bad lapse in the entire process and while we can help at this particular time with your daughter, we will reevaluate the entire process to ensure that nothing like that ever happens again. I would also inform them that from now on, to reflect the changing demographics in the area the hospital covers, the hospital will be offering language classes to all their staff to better communicate with people from different social and cultural

Many people with schizophrenia never learn how to deal with their problems and in the case of Andrea Yates that was one of her problems. Early treatment and therapy could have prevented a tragedy like this one. Denial from her family also plays an important factor in this case. Andrea should have been institutionalized and forced to treatment, way long before she deteriorated in such manner. Her husband was in denial and probably her immediate family too. They are to blame as much as her for this tragedy. A big question will remain forever unanswered. Did Andrea Yates know she was doing something wrong when she drowned her children? Only God and her really know the answer. Personally I believe she knew she was doing something wrong. She just didn’t know how to deal with it. Having schizophrenia or a psychotic sickness does not exempt anyone from doing bad things. I guess living for the rest of your life knowing you killed all of your children is punishment enough. All we can learn from this case is that the main goal is help the person with schizophrenia learn to sort out the real from the unreal and hopefully with the advances in today’s science there will be better treatment in the future.

MILLERSBURG — Arrested Saturday, a Millersburg woman has denied criminal charges she assaulted her boyfriend.

The Casey Anthony trial was a controversial and a media-encompassed case that followed the disappearance of Caylee Anthony – a two year old girl who lived in Orlando, Florida. The case began on terms that were less than adequate, when Casey’s mother, Cindy Anthony, called authorities on the basis that she had not seen her granddaughter for over 30 days. It should also be acknowledged that the mother had even stated, in her own words, that Casey’s car “smelled like there’d been a dead body,” in it. Investigation led to portion after portion of evidence, along with even more questions on what had befallen Caylee after it turned out that her mother had falsified a slew of information. The original story that Casey offered stated that she had left

Casey Anthony vs. The State of Florida The controversial case of Casey Anthony and death of Caylee Marie Anthony is one of the most remembered and talked about cases in the past 20 years. This case occurred in Orlando, Florida in which Casey Anthony was accused of first degree murder of a child, which was her own daughter.

In the United States criminal justice system, people are considered innocent until proven guilty. It is the job of the prosecution to “overcome the defendant’s presumption of innocence.” (Storm, 2012, p. 75) This is also referred to as the burden of proof (or proof beyond a reasonable doubt) in a criminal prosecution. Specifically, it means “the obligation to prove a disputed charge, allegation, or defense.” (Storm, 2012, p. 74) Two components of the burden of proof are the burden of production (presenting evidence to the judge or jury) and the burden of persuasion (convincing the judge or jury). (Storm, 2012, p. 75) Proof beyond reasonable doubt “is determined by examining the quality and quantity of the evidence presented.”
