I keep telling folks to look for the common ground, stuff we all agree on. I don’t know anyone that agrees Susan Smith should have been paroled.
Of course she’s the woman who drowned her two toddler sons in John D. Long Lake in Union, SC 30 years ago. She caused more negative publicity to our state and even racial tension as she initially said a Black man kidnapped her children.
Later on during her prison sentence she slept with prison guards and even gave birth to another child in prison.
I’m a huge champion of forgiveness and not a huge champion of the death penalty or even life sentences. However Susan Smith needs to stay incarcerated for life. She does not seem to have changed nor have malice. If she become sick and frail she can serve out her sentence in a care facility/infirmary. Susan does not need to be around the public right now if ever.
Often it doesn’t matter why we all believe in something. It’s the fact that we do believe.
