Former guard claims Susan Smith's tears at parole hearing were insincere

Susan Smith, convicted of killing her two young sons, was denied parole after a hearing where she showed emotional distress. A former prison guard, Alfred Rowe, claims her tears were fake and intended to manipulate the board. Rowe, who was fired for having a sexual relationship with Smith, stated that her emotional display was insincere. He believes she has not changed since her conviction in 1994 and pointed to her poor disciplinary record in prison. The parole board unanimously rejected Smith's appeal, citing the severity of her crime and her history of infractions, including drug-related offenses. Smith had claimed she had learned from her past.
