Expert witness says Yates
a threat before drowning
NEWS IN BRIEf
Medical examire
HOUSTON (AP) — Andrea Yates was a mere
“shell,” a threat to herself and her children, in the
weeks before she drowned them in the bathtub, a
psychiatrist testified Monday.
Ellen Allbritton, who admitted Yates to
Devereux Texas Treatment Network on March 31,
said she immediately recognized Yates was some
one who required in-patient treatment. Yates’ five
children were dead less than three months later.
“When I walked in the room and saw her. I
pretty much knew this was someone who needed
to be in the hospital,” said Allbritton, testifying for
the defense as the third week of testimony in
Yates’ murder trial got under way. “She looked
mentally ill.”
Asked by defense attorney George Parnham
to elaborate, Allbritton said: “Someone who had
declined to the point of non-function, just there,
a shell.”
In her medical notes, Allbritton wrote that
Yates, whose father had died about three weeks
earlier, “needs in-patient stabilization for safety of
self and others.”
Under cross-examination, Allbritton told pros
ecutor Joe Owmby that Yates denied having any
suicidal or homicidal thoughts but “I wouldn’t
have trusted her to walk across the street.”
Allbritton said Yates and her husband,
Russell, were hesitant to hospitalize her and did
so only after Allbritton filed an emergency
detention order.
“The patient was so ill and had obviously been
ill for quite some time.” Allbritton said. “I really
wondered why she hadn’t been presented to our
facility sooner.”
Defense attorneys are trying to show Yates did
not know right from wrong on June 20, when she
drowned her children.
Yates, 37, who has pleaded innocent by reason
of insanity, faces murder charges in the drow nings
of 7-year-old Noah, 5-year-old John and 6-month-
old Mary. Charges could be filed later in the
deaths of Paul. 3, and Luke, 2. She faces life in
prison or the death penalty if convicted.
An expert witness who testified for the defense
last week told jurors Yates suffers from schizo
phrenia, which was worsened by her bouts with
postpartum depression following the births of her
fourth and fifth children.
Schizophrenia causes a person’s thinking,
feeling and behavior to become impaired. It
includes symptoms such as delusions, hallucina
tions and social withdrawal.
Defense witness Phillip Resnick told jurors
Friday that Yates knew her actions were illegal,
but that she thought drowning her four sons and 6-
month-old daughter was the only way to save
them from hell.
