The local newspaper stated that Susan Smith is seeking a new trial. She believes she was not properly defended and that her rights were violated during her questioning about the case. She also believes that the facts surrounding her childhood of being molested and abused should have been considered during her trial as a defense.
Has she forgotten about the two precious gifts from God that she allowed to die in a cold dark lake? Did she forget about the man that was falsely accused, questioned and ridiculed because of the description she gave to the investigating officers? Did she forget about the community where she was born and raised that has to carry the dark cloud of shame?
How many times does a person have to answer the same questions where is Union or get the same response "Oh yes, that’s the town where Susan Smith drowned her children in that lake".
Did she forget she was supposed to love and protect those children? Shelter them from harm, not do them harm.
I have not forgotten how much it hurt me to find out those poor little boys were dead and that it was at their mothers hands. Her sentence of life should stand as is. I’m sorry maybe then she will have time to remember.

Ask the majority of the people of Union, if this girl was not the most perfect girl through the years she spent in Union, i dont know who would be, of course she was sick and needs help, but find her the help she needs, and let her go on with her life. Ron F. ( Detroit )
