To this day, it makes me sick to my stomach thinking about what she did.
..what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms.

From the article

>>>The letter was not Smith's first communication from prison. She corresponded with Keira V. Williams, over a period of months, for her book, "Gendered Politics in the Modern South: The Susan Smith Case and the Rise of a New Sexism," published in 2012. It focuses more on the example of Smith's case in gender and politics.<<<<

Oh boy-who wants to be the first one here to read the Williams book?

My eyes are bleeding from just reading the synopsis of the book.

Ms. Smith can thank her gender for likely keeping her out of the electric chair (or whatever SC uses for execution).

...and you'll continue to be thought of as the monster you are.

Woman who drowned her 2 kids by pushing her car into a lake 30 years ago denied parole
COLUMBIA, S.C. – A parole board decided unanimously Wednesday that Susan Smith should remain in prison, despite her plea that God has forgiven her for killing her two young sons 30 years ago by rolling her car into a South Carolina lake while they were strapped in their car seats.

It was the first parole hearing for Smith, 53, who is serving a life sentence after a jury convicted her of murder but decided to spare her of the death penalty. Under state law at the time, she is eligible for a parole hearing every two years now that she has spent 30 years behind bars.
This thread hasn't seen air for over 9 years. Looks like it can be brought back up every two years, now.

They got this one right. She is every bit the monster people think she is.
