In this episode of Tell Me The Crime, we examine the devastating case of Andrea Yates, the Texas mother who drowned her five children in 2001. There was never any question that Andrea committed the act. The question was whether she was legally sane when she did it.

This case forces a difficult conversation about postpartum psychosis, religious delusions, criminal responsibility, and how the legal system should respond when severe mental illness and unimaginable harm collide.
