HOUSTON (AP) - Andrea Yates, the Houston mother accused of drowning her five young children in the family bathtub in 2001, doesn't want to face another trial if it can be avoided, her attorney said Saturday after visiting her in prison.
"She doesn't want to go through the process of a retrial," attorney George Parnham said. "But we are prepared to defend her all the way."
It was the first time Parnham had talked with Yates since Wednesday, when the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals let stand a lower court's decision to overturn Yates' capital murder convictions.
