Andrea Yates convicted

HOUSTON (AP) -- Andrea Yates, the 37-year-old housewife who admitted she drowned her five children, was convicted of murder Tuesday by a jury that rejected her claim of insanity.

Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for Yates, who had pleaded innocent by reason of insanity. She also could be sentenced to life in prison.

The jury deliberated less than four hours before finding her guilty of two charges of capital murder. The charges cover the deaths of three of her children.
