Susan Smith, Convicted Child Killer, Seeks Parole 30 Years Later
Susan Smith, who was convicted of murdering her two young sons by drowning them in 1994, is seeking parole after nearly 30 years in prison. Smith, who has had multiple disciplinary issues while incarcerated, will present her case to a parole board, which requires a majority vote for her release. The case, which initially involved a false claim of carjacking, drew significant media attention. While some, including a former juror, believe she has served her time, others, including her ex-husband and the former prosecutor, oppose her release.
