FREDRICKA WHITFIELD, CNN ANCHOR: We want to update you on the trial ongoings in Houston, Texas, where Andrea Yates is on trial for the murders of her children. Let's go to Ed Lavandera, who is on the telephone with us now with an update.</s>ED LAVANDERA, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Hi, Fredericka. We're on the fifth floor of Harris County Courthouse in downtown Houston, where court has just taken a rare 10-minute break. Rusty Yates spent almost the past two hours on the witness stand being cross-examined by prosecutors in the case. And emerging from his testimony this morning, not exactly clear as to if prosecution isn't done yet. It's not exactly clear in what direction exactly they are heading with the line of questioning. But what they have done with Rusty Yates over the last two hours is take the jurors back through the more -- what a lot of people considered some of the more stressful times in the Yates' family life, as they recount life living in a recreational vehicle and some time the family spent living in a converted Greyhound bus. Also the details and pressures that Andrea Yates underwent as she was homeschooling for awhile. Two of the children and some of those pressures. And a lot of detailed testimony. Another kind of different type of time line, as defense attorneys conducted their questioning yesterday. Took the jurors back to Andrea Yates's battles with mental illness. Prosecutors are doing the same, but with some of the more stressful situations -- what has been perceived as some of the more stressful situations in the family's life. Prosecutors are not done yet. They are going to resume here for a little bit longer before break for lunchtime. We will join back in a little bit.</s>WHITFIELD: Thanks very much, Ed Lavandera, on the telephone from Houston, covering the Andrea Yates trial.
