Andrea Yates: Why Her Case Is Being Revisited 25 Years Later

Andrea Yates: Why Her Case Is Being Revisited 25 Years Later

More than 25 years after the Andrea Yates case drew national attention, it is being discussed again as the Lindsay Clancy trial raises renewed questions about postpartum mental health, psychosis and criminal responsibility. Andrea Yates had a documented history of severe mental illness, psychiatric hospitalisations and psychosis before the events of 2001. Her first conviction was later overturned, and at a second trial in 2006, she was found not guilty by reason of insanity. In this episode of True Crime Recaps, we revisit Andrea Yates' psychiatric history, the warning signs documented before the case, the expert testimony surrounding her trials, and the legal developments that ultimately changed the outcome. We also examine why the ongoing Lindsay Clancy trial has brought renewed attention to the Yates case and some of the broader questions surrounding postpartum mental illness and the criminal justice system. The circumstances and evidence in the two cases are different. Lindsay Clancy has pleaded not guilty, and her case remains ongoing. Follow True Crime Recaps for new true crime episodes every week.
