Description
This is where the infamous Susan Smith, the monster of a mother, was tried and convicted here in the 1990s for the murders of her sons, 3-year-old Michael Daniel Smith, born 10/10/1991, and 14-month-old Alexander Tyler Smith, born 8/5/1993. Tommy Pope tried the case as the prosecutor and got a guilty verdict. Though he pressed for the death penalty, the jury decided life in prison was fitting in part because the sheriff admitted that without Smith's confession, they didn't have much of a case.
