HOUSTON - Rusty Yates, the father of five slain children, has a son with his new wife.

Yates on Sunday told KHOU television in Houston that his wife, Laura, recently gave birth to a "healthy boy." Further details were not immediately available.

The couple wed in March 2006.

Rusty Yates divorced Andrea Yates in March 2005.

Andrea Yates in June 2001 drowned the couple's five children at the family's Houston-area home. She was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to life in prison in 2002.

But an appeals court in 2005 overturned her conviction because of some erroneous testimony.

Andrea Yates was found innocent by reason of insanity in July 2006 and was placed in a state mental institution.

Defense attorney George Parnham told KTRK-TV that Andrea Yates is aware of her ex-husband's new child, "is at peace with the issue" and her position is that life goes on.

1. Well, hopefully Rusty won't just stand by

thumpin' his Bible if this wife starts to show any signs of mental illness.

2. Maybe he won't have this family live in a bus. nt

3. Jebus boy "rusty" was as nutty as his first wife

yet he's walking around free.

Where's the justice.
