I agree, Susan Smith was a cold calculated murderer. She thought of her children as inconvenient and killed them so she could keep her boyfriend. She lied and implicated a black man in a southern town to get the most sympathy. She was not psychotic, just a plain murderer.

Susan Smith did not have a history of mental illness. No history of heavy duty anti-psychotics being given and then taken away. No history of psych hospitalizations and past suicide attempts......... Nope, just news conferences with crocodile tears.

She did not have the psych history that Andrea Yates had and consequently the sentence fit her crime...as long as it was the death sentence. Anything less would be a travesty of justice........

She was a pathetic excuse for a mother.
