On June 20, 2001, Andrea Yates, a wife and mother of 5, confessed to drowning her children.  Andrea’s explanation was that she needed to save her children from the fires of Hell.  On a surface level, it appeared that Yates was a monster who murdered her children in cold blood.  On a deeper level, Andrea’s fragile mental state, and the pressure to conform to religious extremism contributed to her horrific actions.  If you believe you know the whole story, you probably don’t.  Listen to our episode before you make up your mind.
