But Yates' husband should be charged with accessory to murder and sentenced to the max prison term. If it hadn't been for him continuing to get her pregnant despite the obvious psychosis, and then leaving her alone with the kids, this never would have happened.

I agree with your first paragraph - Yates should most definitely be either, 1) locked up for life with no possibility of EVER getting out, or 2) put to death. I honestly root for the latter - I don't feel she has the right to be alive any longer.
As far as her jackass husband "continuing to get her pregnant despite the obvious psychosis," I think that's complete bullshit. She had many options and ways of controlling her reproductive health. She could've, let's say, NOT had sex with him, or perhaps used the "rhythm" method of birth control? Or, perhaps, if her religion allowed it, used a sponge? Female condom? Diaphragm? Shot? Patch? IUD? PILL!?!? She could've chosen to have a tubal ligation at any point, too, yet she chose not to.
Yes, some of the blame for her mental disintegration falls squarely on hubby's shoulders, if only because of his neglect and indifference concerning his wife's mental state. 99.9% of the blame, however, is on HER. Frankly, I don't give a shit if she were nuts at the time, or drunk, or high as a kite - SHE KILLED HER CHILDREN. She deserves to die, too. Preferably by drowning her in her own bath tub.
