I'm here to help you realize/ understand that you will live no matter what! It is up to you people to open your hearts and minds. There is no such thing as death. The people I've dismissed from this reality are not at all dead.
I assume that dozens of mental health specialists will rush to his aid. They'll question why he should even be put on trial, that he needs mental help not punishment, etc.

Meanwhile, there's the case of Adair Javier Garcia (LA DA's press release: Pico Rivera Father Charged In Asphyxiation Deaths Of Five Of His Six Children). A search of the LA Times news site turns up...nada. Obviously he's not worthy of Yates-level coverage. She, after all, is the real victim, is she not? (Ha!)
