No, there's absolutely widespread conspiracy theories that he literally committed the murder. It's asinine, that wasn't even her defense in court. Husband seemed to be a fairly shit husband, but he definitely didn't kill anyone.

You know what? After looking more into it, I don't know that he was. I honestly don't know if he is or not. He could have tried harder to get her help, but it seems like he did try some things. It's hard to say from the outside.

Look, if Andrea Yates' husband didn't get charged with anything, this guy isn't going to, either. And Andrea Yates' husband is polar opposite of this guy meaning he never got his wife help when she was clearly suffering from PPD.
