HOUSTON - After less than an hour of deliberations, a jury spared Andrea Yates from death row Friday and sentenced her instead to life in prison for drowning her children in the bathtub.

So, some day she'll "wake up" and realize what happened, what she did, and have to live with that. Ah, compassion. Meanwhile, please note that her "life" sentence means she eligible for parole in 40 years. As said, there is seldom any such thing in this country as "life without the possibility of parole." (And, yes, I am aware of a large number of absolute travesties of justice. I'm speaking in the context of capital cases, wherein the LWOP is presented as the proper sentence, rather than death.)

I still wonder where the huge press coverage is for Mr. Garcia?
