Susan Smith Seeks Parole 30 Years After Drowning Her Sons

Susan Smith, a South Carolina woman convicted in 1994 for the murder of her two sons, is seeking parole after 30 years in prison. Smith, who drowned her children by letting their car roll into a lake, will present her case to a parole board, while the children's father and the original prosecutor will argue against her release. Smith's initial claim of a carjacking was later disproven when she confessed to the crime. Under state law, she is eligible for a parole hearing every two years after serving 30 years.
