berikut ini contoh fundamentalis yg diminta oleh oom agus nizami.  info dari
mas dwi w. soegardi.

rujukan kasus serupa di Amerika:

Di tahun 2001, seorang ibu menenggelamkan 5 orang anaknya dari umur 6 bulan
sampai 7 tahun
di bak mandi. Pakar kejiwaan menengarai gejala post partum depression (baby
blues).
Pengadilan Texas menjatuhkan hukuman seumur hidup kepada Andrea Yates,
meskipun belakangan pengadilan banding memutuskan pengadilan ulang.

Sebagian pihak menyalahkan suami yang mengabaikan saran dokter
untuk tidak punya anak lagi. Doktrin kepercayaan yang dianut suami, Russel
Yates,
mengajarkan istri melahirkan anak sebanyak mungkin.
Russel menceraikan Andrea setelah kejadian tersebut,
dan menikah lagi 2 hari sebelum pengadilan ulang dimulai.

Andrea Pia Yates (born July 2, 1964) is a woman from Houston, Texas, who is,
as of 2006, currently awaiting retrial after previously being sentenced to
life imprisonment for methodically drowning her five children (ages six
months to seven years) in a bathtub on June 20, 2001. She was suffering from
a severe case of recurrent postpartum depression, after having had her last
baby. She immediately called 9-1-1 after the deaths and was arrested shortly
thereafter.

Yates, a native Houstonian who attended Milby High School, married Russell
"Rusty" Yates and moved to the Clear Lake City neighborhood in Houston.
Yates had five children and had killed them several months after the birth
of her final child.

Yates confessed to drowning her children and her defense asserted postpartum
psychosis as the reason she committed the killings. Although all expert
testimony agreed that Yates was clearly psychotic, Texas law requires that
in order to successfully assert the insanity defense, the defendant must
prove that he or she could not discern right from wrong at the time of the
crime. In March 2002, a jury rejected the insanity defense and found Yates
guilty. Although the prosecution had sought the death penalty, the jury
rejected that option. The trial court sentenced Yates to life imprisonment
with eligibility for parole in 40 years.

On January 6, 2005, the Texas Court of Appeals reversed the convictions
because prosecution witness Dr. Park Dietz, a Califonia psychiatrist, had
given false testimony during the trial. Dietz stated that shortly before the
killings, an episode of Law & Order had featured a woman who drowned her
children and was acquitted of murder by reason of insanity. It was later
discovered that no such episode existed; the appellate court held that the
jury may have been influenced by his false testimony and that thus a new
trial would be necessary.

Some believe or believed that her husband, Russell "Rusty" Yates, an
employee of the Johnson Space Center, was responsible for creating the
conditions that culminated in the tragedy. Andrea's psychiatrist, Dr. Eileen
Starbranch, testified that she urged the couple not to have more children,
to prevent future psychotic depression, but the procreative plan taught by
the Yates' spiritual mentor, Michael Peter Woroniecki, a doctrine to which
Rusty Yates subscribed, insisted she should continue to have "as many
children as nature allows".

Andrea Yates told her jail psychiatrist, "It was the seventh deadly sin. My
children weren't righteous. They stumbled because I was evil. The way I was
raising them they could never be saved. They were doomed to perish in the
fires of hell." (This is consistent with Woroniecki's teachings, which are
best characterized as "hellfire preaching.")

On January 9, 2006, Yates again entered pleas of not guilty by reason of
insanity. On February 1, 2006, she was granted release on bail on the
condition that she be admitted to a mental health treatment facility.
Currently, her retrial is set for June 26, 2006, 6 days after the 5-year
anniversary of the deaths. The trial was re-set due to scheduling conflicts.

Her ex-husband, Russell "Rusty" Yates, remarried on March 18, 2006, two days
before her first scheduled re-trial.
