Trials and errors

[sigma7]

Andrea "I done drowned mah five kids in the tub!" Yates is getting a new trial. No, clearly not the stupidest decision from Texas in the last 24 hours. I'm of mixed feelings on the whole thing -- she's obviously not innocent, but at the same time, she's clearly more than a few bacon bits shy of a salad bar, having post-partum depression and continuing to churn out fleshling worm-babies like someone pulled her right arm and her face lit up with three fetuses in a row. Didn't she ask one of her recent visitors in prison who was baby-sitting the kids? You can't sit her down and explain that, well, Andrea, nobody, because you killed them, because they're in little pine boxes, buried in the ground, and they're never coming back. If she doesn't realize this -- and I don't think she does -- then prison is not the punitive place it could be. At least rehabilitate her to the point where she fully understands exactly what happened. Then decide if she's to be punished or nursed back to full health. Because right now the punishment just isn't satisfactory yet.

Also, I'm toying with Adium to get instant-messaging working at work. It's...intriguing. Beware my presence.

Crap. Chefs' Holmes done for season, career?
