Susan Smith, serving a life sentence for the 1994 murders of her sons Michael and Alex, was denied parole by the South Carolina Board of Paroles and Pardons. The board voted unanimously against her release after she appeared via video. During her plea, Smith expressed remorse for her actions, stating she wished she could change the past. Her ex-husband, David Smith, opposed her parole, emphasizing the intentional nature of her crime. David Smith has since remarried and has two children. He urged the board to deny Susan's request, highlighting the lasting impact of her actions over the past 30 years.
