...PHYSICIANS WHO DELIVERED both of Susan and David Smith's children and as residents of Spartanburg, we followed this story with interest. Ultimately we were all saddened and shocked by the tragic outcome. We would like to point out, however, that your statement that Susan Smith "still owed money to the doctor who delivered Alex 14 months ago" is inaccurate.

Some human compassion is due an extremely troubled young woman like Susan Smith, but not at the expense of the grieving father of the children she murdered...
