penalty the way I support it. Statistics say that when a murderer kills once, he or she is more than likely to do it again, but perhaps even in a worse way. Andrea unfortunately got two life sentences in prison, but becoming eligible for parole after forty years. Juror Leona Baker told CBS that she believed that Andrea was not going to be a threat to society being in prison for the next forty years of her life. I disagree with this completely due to all the research I have done in this woman. In the State of Texas, we utilize the death penalty strongly in many cases, and we should have put it into more consideration in the Andrea Yates case.Andrea Yates was sentenced to life in prison on March 14, 2001, for killing her five children. I agree that Andrea was sane, but the right punishment should have been the death penalty....
