Susan Smith denied parole 30 years after drowning her sons in South Carolina lake

gazette.com — November 20, 2024 at 08:01 PM UTC

Susan Smith has been denied parole by a South Carolina board, 30 years after she drowned her two sons by rolling her car into a lake. This was her first parole hearing since her life sentence for murder. Smith, now 53, expressed remorse during the hearing, stating she would change her actions if possible. Her ex-husband and family members opposed her release, emphasizing the lasting impact of her crime. The board's decision reflects the low likelihood of parole for first-time hearings, especially in high-profile cases. Smith will be eligible for another hearing in two years.
