From Associated Press
HOUSTON —
Andrea Yates left jail early Thursday for a state mental hospital, where she will await her second capital murder trial for the 2001 drownings of her young children. It is scheduled to begin March 20.
A bondsman, a friend of Yates’ attorney, posted her $200,000 bond, releasing her from incarceration for the first time since the five children were drowned in the family bathtub.
Yates, 41, didn’t speak as she left the jail.
