It appears that this case is going to be headed for a jury trial, but my offer will always remain open.

I think both sides can use extra time. This case is extremely important, obviously to Andrea Yates.

Whenever this case goes to trial, be it March the 20th or some time this summer, we'll be prepared and ready to go. I think neither side will kick and scream if there is some additional time made available to prepare. It is going to be a lengthy trial. It is going to be complex.

I have bittersweet feelings about (the remarriage). I told Rusty a number of years ago that, obviously, there has to come a point in where he gets on with his life. Andrea has to get on with hers.

We all have to get on with our lives. This doesn't discount the things that happened on June 20th, but it saddens me that Andrea might be in any way negatively or emotionally affected by this.
arrive evidence examine hear hopefully horrendous possibilities prevent resolution subjected torment
We will examine all possibilities and hopefully arrive at a resolution that could prevent Andrea from going through the torment of being subjected to the evidence of this case. We all know how horrendous it was to hear this evidence.
