Goes up for parole today.   I could have sworn Mock had a thread about her,  but only found her mentioned in a few other threads.  Than I realized that she killed her kids in 1994, way before mock was born.

Anyway, the news lady said South Carolina very rarely grants parole.  I hope they don't, I hope she dies in jail, alone, in a single cell with no one there to comfort her.

I remember this story. Holy shit, she strapped her two little boys into their car seats and sent her car into the water. Didn't she blame it on a black person?

She did.   I was living in Georgia at the time and every black man from Virginia to Florida was harassed over this.   The KKK staged mock lynchings.  She put a target on every black man's back while crying on TV about her babies.  

I'm not usually one for the death penalty, but I would make an exception for her.  

I actually thought she was dead, and it surprised the he'll out of me when I heard her mentioned on the news.

30 years is enough.

Meh,  I don't agree.  She killed a 3 yo and a 1 yo (who could have been easily adopted). Because she wanted a relationship with a rich man.  She could have turned over custody to her ex. She could have done a lot of things, but what she did was strap those babies in a car, pushed that car into a lake, and then put a target on every black man in the south for 10 days.

Anyway, she was denied parole today.

That's seriously fucked up but 30 years is a very long time. I'd grant parole if she demonstrated that that she understood the full magnitude of what she'd done and had used the time she's been imprisoned to change herself fundamentally.
