Whether hubby knew that his wife would kill their children or not is not the issue. The driver of a getaway car may not know that his accomplice may kill a security guard when he robs the bank, but the driver should and can be held responsible when he knows his buddy enters the bank with a gun. In this case, hubby knew that Andrea was a troubled woman, knew that she had suffered from a form of post-pardum (sp?) depression, yet encouraged her to become pregnant for the fifth time, and clearly knew that she was a threat to injure those children in his absence. You may recall his immediate response in the 911 tape when he responded to her request that he come right home. He responded by immediately asking if she had hurt the children. This guy is a pitiful excuse of a man. If he cared about his wife, maybe he should have practiced a little self restraint and common sense. Only my opinion.
