Susan Smith seeks parole after 30 years for drowning her children

Susan Smith, convicted of drowning her two sons in 1994, will ask a South Carolina parole board for her release on Wednesday. She has served 30 years of a life sentence and is eligible for parole hearings every two years. Smith's case gained national attention after she initially claimed her children were kidnapped. Investigators later found her story inconsistent, leading to her confession that she let her car roll into a lake with the boys inside. During the hearing, Smith will present her case via video link, while her ex-husband and the original prosecutor will argue against her release. Parole in South Carolina is rarely granted, especially in high-profile cases like hers.
