[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think people are more educated AND ALSO, yes I think Clancy is more sympathetic. This is terrible but  Clancy is cute, young, athletic, a nurse. She looks like a typical pinterest mom trying to achieve the American dream. Yates was in a strange religion, lived in a bus, had 6 kids not 3 which some people may find odd, and the pictures of her that circulated showed a scarily out of it woman. I felt horrible for her, but I can see how her "image" didn't garner as much sympathy. And I thought the dad in the Yates case was hideously negligent as a spouse and as a parent. Not enough info yet on the Clancy's to know if the husband was out to lunch or not.

I don't disagree, but Yates was also educated as a nurse and working as a RN when she met Rusty Yates. She may have been "normal' before taking up with him.  I want to say that she didn't show signs of mental illness until having several children. Also, I think they were living in a house by the time the killings occurred. She was "with it" enough to tell her spouse that she didn't want to have any more children, but unfortunately, he won out, I guess. [/quote]
