'Who's Babysitting The Kids?'

[George Parnham] said that when news of the appeal ruling reached Yates, "she was surprised and not unpleased ... She understands what's happening." Dr. Lucy Puryear, who testified that Yates was insane at the time of the killings, says the woman's mind-set changes from day to day. (Yates was charged in only three of the deaths.) She spends much of the time in a daze, not quite sure of the past. But when her medication works, she remembers what she has done.
