I think both sides can use extra time. This case is extremely important, obviously to Andrea Yates. There are also issues of mental health and the criminal justice system that take center stage and we want, certainly, to be as well-prepared and as effective as possible in presenting these issues to the jury in defense of our client.

Continued hospitalization for Andrea will help her withstand the pressures and rigors of one more time of going back to this situation in front of a jury and in front of the public.

Obviously a plea bargain isnt an option, as long as there's nothing on the table to address the mental health issues that are so apparent with Andrea, ...

She is in the very best possible place, all things considered, at this time and in this place under these circumstances.
George Parnham
Neither side, and I have said this all along, wants to go through the horror of revisiting this issue. We believe that she needs security. We believe that she needs mental health care and she needs to be in a location that addresses both.
