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

Susan Smith, convicted of murdering her two sons in 1994, is seeking parole after serving 30 years of her life sentence. She will present her case to a parole board via video link, while her ex-husband and the original prosecutor will argue against her release. Smith's case gained national attention when she falsely claimed her car was stolen with her sons inside. Investigators later found the boys' bodies in the submerged vehicle. Smith confessed to intentionally driving the car into a lake. Under South Carolina law, Smith is eligible for parole hearings every two years. However, parole is rarely granted, especially in high-profile cases like hers, where opposition from victims' families is strong.
