Yates 'not guilty'
26/07/2006 22:01 - (SA)
Houston - A jury on Wednesday found Texan mother Andrea Yates not guilty, by reason of insanity, in the drowning of her five children in the bath of their Houston home five years ago.
The decision means Yates, 42, will go to a state mental hospital for treatment until a judge decides she is sane enough to be released - a process which could take years.
Yates was found guilty in a 2002 trial and sentenced to life in prison.
She had to be retried after the conviction was overturned because of flawed testimony.
