Susan Smith, convicted of killing her two sons in 1994, is eligible for parole this year after serving 30 years. Her ex-husband, David Smith, made an emotional plea against her release during a parole board hearing on November 20. David argued that Susan's actions were intentional and expressed that her potential release would not be just. He stated that 30 years in prison equates to only 15 years for each child, which he believes is insufficient. David shared his ongoing grief and commitment to advocate for his sons, Michael and Alex, at future hearings. He expressed that he has not seen any remorse from Susan and supported the parole committee's decision to deny her release.
