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.
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.

On that point I agree. What frequently gets missed though is the real reason for that. People insist upon making it a matter of mere skin color when it is not. And my point to the racialists is simply that you can find an equal or greater number of heinous acts committed by whites as in most other groups. And I don't limit this observation to simply white and black. There is much crime in the Chinese community (and the Japanese Mob - the Yakuza - can go toe to toe with the Mafia), but because of their culture much of it remains below the surface and out of sight. Different cultures different responses. I take a broader perspective preferring to view humanity as a vast swirling sea of attitudes, differences, and similarities. My point, as always, is that people are people and the conditions under which they live and the culture within which they are raised has much more to do with their behavior that the mere genetics of melanin. As for the media's response that is part of the ongoing PsyOp of marginalizing and disempowering the resistance to the ongoing hostile takeover of the planet by the International Banking Cartel - which we call, among other things, the "New World Order" (or as I prefer "Odor"). The majority population of the U.S. IS white, and that is undeniable. It also has a culture of personal indepedence and liberty. That last is the real target. People who desire liberty do not make good slaves. Those who insist upon being independent individuals do not make good drones for the hive and those who would run the hive have been told that by the Psychiatrists from which a lot of the evil manipulations spring. If one looks back at the interaction of the pseudo-sciences known as Psychology and Psychiatry one can look from their inception forward and the baleful influence they have had on our culture and planet over all. Theirs is a rather sick viewpoint viewing man is naught but an animal, and to be manipulated and used to whatever ends, usually foul, that amuses them. MK Ultra and the various CIA Mind Control Programs were all run by Psychiatrists. The plague of deadly and noxious drugs afflicting our culture again can be traced to Psychiatry - LSD was originally a Psychiatric Drug. The early research on hallucinogens and their affects were wall within that sick envelope of materialistic dehumanizing pseudo-science called Psychiatry. Who else, other than a Psychiatrist or a Torquemada, would fry a persons brain with electricity and call it "treatment". Psychiatry has the highest suicide rate of any profession, while I view that as a positive, it is also a measure of the sickness of the profession. Without the Psychiatrists and their debilitating manipulations and "treatments", their labeling of behaviors disapproved of with Greek and Latin names (to lend authority to their opinions) the Banksters would be relatively easy to root out. However, they are instead busily working to destroy the culture of resistance to tyranny and are causing the society to implode. Having bought up all of the major media it is now relatively easy for them to constantly spread their debilitating and culture destroying memes. The media is a tool, but is not the disease. It is a symptom not a cause. It is a dangerous symptom and one that has to be reckoned with but it is not the root of the problem. Psychiatry, and the monied powers that employ them are. So, it is not race that is the problem, again people are looking at symptoms and assume that the symptom is the disease, when it is nothing more than a symptom of a deeper disease.

"Nothing has harmed the quality of individual life in modern society more than the misbegotten belief that human suffering is driven by biological and genetic causes and can be rectified by taking drugs or undergoing electroshock therapy. ... If I wanted to ruin someone's life, I would convince the person that that biological psychiatry is right - that relationships mean nothing, that choice is impossible, and that the mechanics of a broken brain reign over our emotions and conduct. If I wanted to impair an individual's capacity to create empathetic, loving relationships, I would prescribe psychiatric drugs, all of which blunt our highest psychological and spiritual functions." Peter R. Breggin, M.D., in the foreword to "Reality Therapy in Action" by William Glasser, M.D., p. xi
"Most of the almost innumerable books, pamphlets, and other publications issued by the sponsors of the mental health program are purposely and craftily disingenuous, disguising its real and ultimate purpose: ... the ultimate reduction of every individual in this world, except the favored few who conceive of themselves as possessed of an incomparable genius in their ability to direct the affairs of others, into... a common servile obeisance to his master, the State...."
