Yates, 47, drowned her children in the bathtub in 2001, and is currently at the Kerrville State Hospital, in Kerrville, Texas, where she has been since a jury found her not guilty of murder by reason of insanity in 2006.

Her attorney George Parnham said going to church would help Andrea.
“It is a recommendation of the doctors that she be permitted to attend, and of course she wants to. It would be both beneficial and mentally therapeutic for her. She has been accepted into a congregation. It is simply a baby step in the right direction toward acclimation into a community down the road of sorts," Parnham told CNN.
