George Parnham reflects on defending Andrea Yates
Attorney George Parnham, who defended Andrea Yates, continues to maintain a close connection to the case that has become a symbol of postpartum psychosis. Yates, a former Texas resident, was found not guilty by reason of insanity after drowning her five children due to delusions.
The Yates case has recently seen renewed public interest due to comparisons with the Lindsay Clancy case in Massachusetts, which resulted in a mistrial following a seven-day jury deadlock. Parnham, 85, has noted the unique nature of such offenses, distinguishing them from typical violent crimes.
