Story here. Excerpt:

'COLUMBIA, S.C. — The mother of a 7-year-old boy who claimed a carjacker killed her son was arrested Monday and charged with murder in her son's death, Greenville County Sheriff Steve Loftis said.

Amanda Reagan Smith was arrested nearly three months after she told authorities that a knife-wielding carjacker forced her to drive to a secluded, wooded area in Greenville on Aug. 12. Once there, she said the carjacker locked the car doors and pressed a pillow to the face of her 7-year-old son.

"Investigators have concluded that Amanda Smith is responsible for the death of her son," Loftis said during a news conference in Greenville. "We are confident that we have the suspect in jail now."'

She should have said that the imaginary carjacker raped her. If she had then she'd still be free.

The big, scary stranger (almost universally male) defense fall apart, and the real culprit (almost universally mom in these cases) get caught.

I never understand why these women don't say, "You wouldn't believe it, but this big scary feminist dyke carjacked me and killed my kid!"

I would ALMOST believe her out of hand.

Wait, that one would only work at the Planned Parenthood office...

She can play the Andrea Yates temporary insanity defense. Do a year or maybe two in a state mental facility. Get out as an outpatient. No criminal record. The perfect crime.

If she even does a year or two.
