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. After serving 30 years of her life sentence, she is eligible for parole hearings every two years. Smith, now 53, will present her case via video link from prison. 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. Smith gained national attention after claiming her children were kidnapped, while they were actually in her submerged car. Her confession revealed she intentionally drove into a lake, leading to her conviction for murder.
