Rusty Yates speaks up
Andrea Yates' now ex-husband, who was, for the most part, a silent observer of the retrial, is speaking up, slamming both the media and the prosecution's portrayal of Andrea's illness.
Unlike in the first round, which ended in a mistrial when one of the witnesses for the prosecution was shown to have knowingly given false testimony, Rusty Yates was not called to the stand this time. However, Rusty's account of Andrea's illness is crucial to understanding what went wrong, and when, and how. He has also served as one of Andrea's best, most tireless advocates as she has been shuffled through the mental health and prison systems.
