If you have been looking at the news, well things
aren't looking too good for Andrea Yates.
On Friday, Yates rejected a plea deal of 35 years.
So, the March retrial is still on.
Felicia Doe, formerly incarcerated with Yates,
is claiming, that she told Andrea how to beat
her case.
Doe, saids she told Yates to pretend to be
mentally ill, not to eat, "not to speak properly,"
and all the other things, which go along with mental illness.
If you recall, Yates had a paper trail of mental illness
long before she landed in jail or prison.
It's not uncommon for "jail house snitches" to come out
of the woodworks, professing things such as this.
A woman by the name of Lynette Licantino, is also
adding her two cents to the pot. She was locked up
with Yates, also. Licantino, was not available for
comment.
Overzealous prosecutors, often use "Snitches" to lie.
Snitches, have sent many an innocent person to prison
and landed many an innocent person on "deathrow."
Just read this article, I wrote several months ago.
The numbers of wrongfully convicted, due to jailhouse
snitches and overzealous prosecutors are amazing.
