概要
Some cases don’t challenge what happened.
They challenge how we understand it.
When Andrea Yates drowned her five children in their home in Texas, there was no question about who was responsible for the act. But almost immediately, a different question emerged—one that would define the case moving forward: what was her mental state at the time, and how should the law respond to it?
Diagnosed with severe mental illness and experiencing postpartum psychosis, Yates’ case would move through conviction, reversal, and ultimately a verdict that shifted the focus from punishment to treatment.
In this episode of Degrees of Guilt, we examine a case where the line between guilt and illness becomes difficult to define—forcing a deeper look at how the legal system determines responsibility when reality itself may be distorted.
Because when someone cannot fully understand their actions… what does guilt really mean?
