Susan Smith denied parole after 30 years for killing her sons in 1994

Susan Smith, convicted of murdering her two sons in 1994, has been denied parole after a recent hearing. The parole board ruled unanimously against her release, despite her emotional plea for forgiveness and expressions of remorse. During the hearing, Smith, now 53, faced opposition from around 15 attendees, including her former husband, who argued against her release. He emphasized that her actions were not a "tragic mistake" and expressed his commitment to attend future hearings. Smith's case gained national attention when she falsely claimed her car was stolen with her sons inside. She later confessed to driving the car into a lake, resulting in their deaths. She is serving a life sentence and is eligible for parole every two years.
