I would like to thank ABC6 news for airing the coverage of the hearing on Buddy Smith that was held on Tuesday in New Bedford Superior Court. My family has been devestated by this horrible nightmare. The constant thought of what these people have done to my nephew, such an innocent beautiful young adult, has caused my sister,myself and my family such undescribable heart ache. Continued coverage on May21st would be so appreciated and supportive, we have been crying out for help for two years...
