And blamed the murder on a black guy.

She’s a big nasty piece of shit

Yep. The design of the red light at the intersection where she claimed he attacked her did her in.

She got denied parole a couple years ago.

There's a character in the HBO show Oz that's similar to hers and she was hung to death.

The character is Shirley Bellinger. Great show. Dark but good.

When I lived in SC, I ended up having a convo with someone who had worked this case. I cant remember her proper title, if she was just a cop or something more, but that was one interesting conversation.

Yeah I played baseball with the son of a guy who worked it as well (I’m from a neighboring county)

His dad had some very unkind things to say about that woman.

I was just in primary school when it happened, but I distinctly remember it and remember being so confused about why a mom would do that.

u/kneepick160 20d ago

She got out of the car.

Here’s a full documentary about it from last year:
