SC mom accused of killing her 2 sons, staging accident The mother accused of suffocating her two young sons and trying to cover it up by staging an accident says she is remorseful and has been speaking with the family minister, her attorney said Wednesday. "She's tearful, as anybody would be under these circumstances," defense attorney Carl B. Grant said after a brief hearing. "She's been very sad, very remorseful about all of this stuff, all of the allegations." Orangeburg County Sheriff Larry Williams has said 29-year-old Shaquan Duley expressed little remorse when she confessed Monday to killing her two young sons, ages 2 years and 18 months. Duley, who is unemployed, told authorities she smothered the boys after a fight with her own mother, who badgered her about her failures as a parent and inability to provide for her family financially. She first told investigators the boys drowned after her car plunged into a river early Monday morning. "She truly felt, 'If I don't have these toddlers, I can be free,'" Williams said. About 80 relatives, friends and curious onlookers attended Wednesday's hearing, Duley's first court appearance since she was charged with two counts of murder. Her family has largely kept silent about her arrest, but before the hearing, her sister said she think Williams' portrayal of events has been fair. "I don't feel that he's dragging my sister through the mud," she said outside the home she shared with her mother, sister, niece and nephews. "I actually feel that he's speaking fairly compassionately on her part." Adriane Duley said her family has been too overwhelmed by the media attention to do day-to-day tasks such as taking out the trash or getting the mail let alone grieving and planning two funerals. "I've had enough," she said. "My family needs their privacy." Shaquan Duley's mother, Helen Duley, told a Columbia television station that her daughter is a loving person who became overwhelmed.
Poster Comment: Remember Susan Smith? The horror of what she did, releasing the brake and allowing her car and her kids to roll off a boat ramp still leaves me with ice crystals on my heart and a deep, aching sadness whenever I recall it or see her children's pictures. Unlike Shaquan Duley's babies Smith's children were still alive when she sent them into deep, dark cold water still strapped in their car seats. As awful as this may seem, I'm actually relieved that Ms. Duley suffocated hers before sending her car off a bridge into a river. She'll get life, too, and may even enjoy the company if not the sympathetic mentoring of the older and seasoned inmate, Smith. South Carolina is a tough place to be a poor baby, especially if Mom has issues. Perhaps Smith and Duley can start a movement and bring the spotlight to bear on the issues that compel young mothers to kill their children. Is it a cry for help that we don't hear? Do these crimes argue for more sex education or less? Do men with no use for ready made families (or girls who sweat excessively in places they shouldn't oughta) abet these murders with our conscience-free libidos? Susan Smith didn't blossom into a full figured gal until after she was jailed. It would appear from Duley's mugshots that had she succeeded in slipping the noose she would have had a long stretch of dieting ahead of her, if like Smith she did it so she might get herself a man. Which makes me wonder, is losing weight (Duley) or keeping it off (Smith) just expecting too much of moms with two babies? Could these four dead children be victims of a steady stream of images that foster low self esteem and steady diets of processed foods with high sugar content? Is it worth risking life in prison because some men believe that big girls are like mopeds?

Yeah right. Look up "ghetto loster". Here's a start: www.newnation.com/forums/showthread.php?t=74228 When I would go into their homes I would see a pot of water on their stoves, simmering. Nothing else but water, no pasta etc. It was common to see this. I never asked why they did this, but now I know. Perhaps scalding their hellspawn makes them remorseful too? Susan Smith is evil. This nigger-in-question is typically impulsive. WTF, it blamed its mother for it all. You can't compare the 2. .
What does race have to do with this murder case? Nothing. Your knee-jerk reaction to automatically assign blame to her race shows a shallow, simplistic, ignorant and narrow-minded mentality. It's boring and disappointing.
Nothing. I agree with you, wud. Race has nothing to do with lady's evil actions. And that's why I responded as I did in post #3 to hounddawg's generalizations about race. In fact the race neutrality of this crime is demonstrated by the fact that this lady's MO is very similar to what was done by another psychopathic mother a few years back and that mother was white. However, as much as I think the crime is race neutral, I am concerned that this lady's defense attorney MIGHT use the "race" card to get this despicable murderess a better sentence deal - eg.troubled childhood growing up in a ghetto with no healthy bonding with herparents, seeing a poor parenting role model in her mother, no stable nuclear family unit to foster love and trust and nurturing values in her personality - therefore it was society's fault that this woman murdered her kids - blah, blah....
Well, that's refreshing : )
Well, that's refreshing : ) Count me in. I might note, just to piss off the racists, that Ted Bundy was white, Scorpio was white, Albert DeSalvo was white, John Wayne Gacy was white, as were John Dillinger, Al Capone, Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Tamerlane, Janet Reno, Lucky Luciano, Joe Bananas (Bonano), Carlo Gambino, John Gotti, Jack The Ripper, Vlad The Impaler (the model for Dracula), Timothy McVeigh, The Ku Klux Klan, Jesse James, etc., ... Evil is evil and is not a province or territory defined by race.

They received a lot of bad press and/or harsh treatment because there were no liberals explaining the root causes for their acts, i.e. early victimization. Remember the teenage runaway whore who shacked up with the seven miners? Well, with good PR her story became Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs. And, of the crims you named you can find their evil black equivalents in any ten square miles of urban ghetto. Just look for the garbage all over the street and accessing the coroner's and police and child protective services reports from those areas would leave you DAWG sick and worse, without excuses. If you want to make a powerful statement find one example of a non white abolitionist movement in one non white country. The fact that some whites commit terrible crimes or are mentally ill doesn't change the fact that WE set the lofty moral and just legal standards from which all criminals and mentally disordered of all races deviate. And, by the way, you shouldn't use the Italian immigrant crime wave as an indicators of European Caucasian values and virtues. Hell, Italy has had over 100 govts since WWII, and much of their ancestry is Mongol blood. The old saying is "An Italian is a nigger turned inside out". Now, just how such a saying came into being is anybody's guess, but my personal experience with them is that far too many of the males are unsavory as Hell, they corrupt everything they touch and they're proud of that cultural trait. And if the never positively identified Ripper Of White Chapel was indeed suffering from advanced syphilis then could his actions be used as evidence of a genetic predisposition to crime? It helps to hear it from someone you know-sometimes you're really stupid, like when you're trying to savage white people in defense of savages that barely squeak under the wire as human.
isn't it interesting though, comparing this news story with that of Susan Smith... which was championed endlessly by the (ahem... jew) media, while this story of a (hideous looking) black woman killing her two kids made nearly a drop in the media pond. i agree with those who note the common villification & marginalization of whites. i think there is something to that.
