I mean...I'm sure God would (and maybe has, IDK. That's between them) forgive her. That doesn't mean she should be let out. It's almost laughable she thinks that means something.
The manipulative God has extended mercy therefore you should grated. God's forgiveness doesn't mean there are no consequences for actions. She accepted that grace as her right, not as mercy. Missing the whole point of it.
Technically the laws did change. 1 year after her conviction. Life is life now. At the time, it wasn’t. I think if the jurors had the privilege of hindsight, they would have given her death. Only to spare David and their family from this torture.
Prosecutor being there was a big deal. The dad saying 15 years per child was heart wrenching. The jurors thought she would be there for LIFE . Not paroled. Thank goodness she was denied.
When David Smith said she had only served 15 years per child, I said out loud “Mic Drop”. I had not thought of it that way and that sweet man was so right!!!!!!!!
What speaks volumes is that nobody came to this parole hearing to speak for Susan. Nobody!!! No one in her family cared enough to come speak for her. That speaks volumes.
My Goodness the boys sure were cherished 😢. Everyone spoke so Eloquently about their feelings . They were so impactful about how truly treacherous Susan is
How could she be so unprepared for this moment? Has she not learned in all these years that throwing on the tears is not useful to her? This is the time to express remorse clearly and succinctly. I did not see real tears or real snot. Also, the defense's side (the lawyer, Susan and her 2 elderly supporters) seemed so ill-prepared compared to those who were speaking against the granting of parole. That group WAS clear and succinct.
It speaks volumes when only 2 people, who aren't family, show up for her. Those 2 people were just making excuses for her and shifting blame away from her. It shows she will surround herself with people she can manipulate.
When this happened, I was so pissed off. I had children the same age as the ones she killed at that time, and all I could think was "If something legitimately happened to my kids right now, would police not believe me because of her?"
I hate seeing this family having to come to Susan Smith's parole every two years but i love the part when she's crying and begging for her freedom and she's denied!
Can you imagine being a young mother with 2 toddler boys and your dad announces that Susan Smith is out on parole and he's in love and dating her? No contact FOREVER.
You're right Emily. You or I could have at least a Masters degree! Little Susie hasn't even finished her Associates degree. Her tears didn't feel real to me at all.
The father and reopening those wounds I cried he is so still hurting! And has to go through this every two years to keep that demon locked away!!! Thank God she was not released she is and was sickening to watch!!!
If she's doing so well in the big house then why place her back out in society? Maybe she should remain there instead of considering her own needs and wants for her future. Freedom is a basic human right but she not only stole it from her prescious little boys but she stole their right to life.
Freedom is not an absolute human right especially when someone takes that right from others by murdering them. She forfeited her freedom and rights when she murdered her children.
The whole family & attorneys spoke so well but Michael & Alex’s auntie had me in floods of tears. When she described her near drowning experience I was feeling her extreme panic & how it must have been beyond horrific for those babies! Michael 💙 & Alex 💙 are so loved from all around the world 🤍🕊️🤍🕊️
I was in high school when this happened, I seen the live tv of Susan Smith pleading for Her kids safe return back to Her. I knew She did it; the next day everyone was talking about it and how sad it was and how They felt so sorry for Susan; I spoke up with my feelings about it, and She did it. I was Berated by every girl and female teachers in school, my girlfriend at the time broke up with me; it was pretty rough, but when the truth came out eventually everything went back to normal. The girls and teachers said I was wrong, because No Mother would ever do that, Today We know with " Social media " ; people are Capable of anything, no matter who they are !
Few people have the ability to see past surface emotions. I'm sure you realize by now how rare that is. It makes you feel crazy when it's so obvious to you but not to anyone else.
I was a grown woman with 3 children, pregnant at the time in NYS and watching this on the news, the press conference. I looked at my partner and told him something looked off, seemed off….and I am not that cynical of a person that I automatically think everyone is lying, particularly about something like this!! This woman was OFF and I felt it. She needs to stay where she is. If you can murder your babies for any reason (worse for the attention of a suitor), never taking into consideration you could have given them to your x- husband, even the department for children’s services….but no, strap those babies into their car seats drive them into the lake and stand on the shore knowing what you just did, walk away and blame it on a random black man!! She is despicable…if she didn’t do that to cover her tracks, I could have more empathy to the notion of depression and undiagnosed postpartum depression and/or psychosis . I’m glad she’s used her time giving to the community. However, it’s like when some inmates find religion. That’s great, and you can still minister to people while inside
After 30 years she is still doing the ridiculous fake crying that got her arrested in the first place. Rather fun to watch, actually. Not the sharpest knife at all 😂
Did you happen to catch the fact that her lawyer said the boyfriend not wanting kids was not true but the man who spoke said he reread the case files and the note from the boyfriend stating he didn't want kids was actually part of the file and actually was her reason? She lied to her attorney she lied to the old people who spoke on her behalf and she lied to the board when she claimed it was a mental health issue steming from her dead father. I also thought the Aunts story about the panic attack and almost drowning put into perspective how those little boys felt strapped in car seats drowning being unable to get free. How horrifying especially since they were in the car and the car would have taken a bit of time to fill with water. She should be thankful that those who are in prison with her haven't killed her.
I have post partum depression and I sought help when I had dark thoughts. It's not an excuse for unaliving anyone. Especially, her two beautiful and innocent children.
29:25 it’s the same fake tears from 30 years ago - deja vu & disturbing. I think she tried to look aged as though she’s an old woman now but do u know who looks aged - David. The grief she inflicted on that man - she should only come out in a box ⚰️
It took her 30 years to ALMOST get an associate's degree? That's a 2 year degree. She musta started working on it just before her parole came up - gee how convenient.
@@OneBadAssMoMo Well that's good to know. And wow, that's kinda crazy - so they don't want prisoners learning for the sake of improving themselves, UNLESS there's a chance they are getting out? Wow. I thought prisoners were free to study and take classes always.
I read that she was pissed off when she was denied parole. That she was crying and ranting about it when she got back to prison. Did she really believe that she was going to get paroled? If she believed that, she is either really arrogant or really delusional or both?
One who is convicted for murder should never be entitled to freedom. You take a life, you give up yours. Your own children is truly heinous that she would say she loved them but murdered them.
Ugh, I thought I could watch this again and not cry… it’s worse the second time I think. I was a 17 year old mom with a 1 year old when this happened. My son’s name is Michael Alexander. And I remember like it was yesterday putting myself in that scenario. And it sent me spiraling. There is no rehabilitation for a person who does what she did. Ever. My son is 31 today. And I think about the handsome men those 2 boys would be. She deserves to rot for eternity.
😂😂😂 "Are the aliens gonna pay my electric bill? No? Then tell them I said hi." SO TRUE! Y'all, the 2020s have broken me, I don't have anything left to give outside of my adulting responsibilities. Paul, you crack me up so much! 🤣🤣
The way she is wiping her eyes is REALLY bugging me. It makes sure she can hide that there are no tears AND it also shows she's more worried about her make-up running if there ARE tears the way she's wiping her eyes. Wow. If she were really in the throes of sadness she wouldn't care if her mascara ran. She'd let the tears run. But she's not really crying.
Replay crew tonight Paul…. I caught the first part of the hearing while at work but, I missed hearing those speak against! 😢 dammit some of that hurt to hear!
I ask myself that if she were to be out on parole, how long would she last? I would have serious issues if she lived on my street. She’s not a safe person, no one around her would be safe.
Omg. I was just going to write the same thing u just said. She sounds exactly the same and fakes hurt the same as 30 yrs ago. Didn't believe her then, and still dont.
I cried all the way through the family and prosecutors. And when the (great uncle, I think) spoke about how the family moved the body of David Smith’s brother so he and the boys could be together… wow. That was a loving family. She could have just gotten a divorce. Left the children with the family that wanted and cared for them. There was no need to commit this senseless crime.
Poor Susan, is never her fault. She's so trusting & people always let her down. Oh! & God himself has forgiven her, so you should too. Are you kidding me? Manipulative, conniving, self centered, always thinking about number one. She has not changed one bit. The world is a better place with Susan locked up...forever.
Ok finally stopped crying. Brought back a lot of memories, When the men found the boys they were devastated at what they saw and some told about it. The description was horrifying like the men that found the Chris Watts children. I tried to read the book the father wrote but it was too heart wrenching he truly deeply loved his sons. Everything about her is evil.
The fact that these prosecutors and sheriffs are here representing these victims 30 years later is just heartwarming, they care about those boys and David just as much today as they did 30 years ago, that’s more than anyone can say about Susan.
She should never get out... She's not acting too remorseful or grown up...She has had countless affairs with the guards...And countless affairs with men she has come visit her .. She's looking for a Sugar Daddy!!!
First…that opening serenade about wearing shoes! 🤣 so darn funny. Susan and her speech 😡…pathetic and most people see right through her phoniness! We all know she wants out to join one of her sugar daddies…that in and of itself is disturbing to the very core. Why the families have to do this every 2 years is absurd!
"I know god has forgiven me, so i hope you show the same mercy." Lmaoooooooo no. Absolutely delusional to think because her god supposedly forgives her means anyone else has to. We're not your god, Susan.
My heart broke for the little sister of the boys. Can you even imagine finding out you had 2 big brothers that were murdered by their own mom? And living in the shadow of all that grief? That is so sad.
Paul and Sofa-Squad. I spent 7 months in Leath Correction in 2010. I was in the same cell block with Susan. I was on the bottem tear and Susan was on the top tear. My job while I was there was in charg of the supply room/closet. I handed out cleaning supplies to other inmates. I saw her every day because her job was cleaning the toilets and showers. No, I never spoke one word to her. Not many inmates did. In the 7 months I was there she "attempted" self exit, by cutting her wrist. She didn't try hard enough. It was an attention grab. I heard she had "tried" several times over the years she had been incarcerated. Like I said, she didn't try hard enough. I had an occasion to go to the mail room with her one day. Leath is a controlled movement prison. You cant leave the unit one at a time. For instance, there were certain days you could go to the library but everyone that wanted to go had to line up at a certain time and all walk in a straight line together to the library. That was the case for every thing. Library breakfast, lunch, dinner, nurse, canteen, etc. Typically mail was brought to the unit at a certain time every day and a CO would do mail call. If you receive something larger than an envelope such as a package with books. The day I went to the the mail room with her, my mama had sent my clothes to wear home. Susan had a package that day so we had to go together. They put us in a holding cell when we got to the mail room to wait on a CO to bring us our packages. While we were waiting I sat quietly on the opposite side of the bench from her. While we were in the holding cell a CO brought 2 new inmates into the cell to wait to go to intake. One of them started talking to Susan. This nut job actually introduced herself to the new inmate. Like, "Hey, I'm Susan Smith, what's your name"? Like she was some famous super star. The inmate said "Oh, are you the one that killed your babies"? Susan said "yeah". The inmate said,"Can I ask you why you did that"? Susan said, with her head held high, shoulders straight and chest out, "I lost touch with reality"!! It took everything in me not to come up off that bench and punch her in her throat!! This bitch said that with pride. She thinks she's a freaking super star!! She does not have it easy in Leath though, most people want even talk to her once they find out who she is. She had one of the worst jobs in the prison. You send your laundry out once a week to be washed. Most of the time she didn't get all of it back and sometimes what she did get back would be torn underwear, socks and t-shirts.😂 That's just a couple examples of how she was treated. It's true, inmates that hurt, abuse or kill children don't fair well in prison and that makes me happy!!😁 Thank God she didn't get parole!! Rest easy, Michael & Alex!!😇💙😇💙
Sadly for her, she would probably have a miserable life if she were paroled. Everyone hates her and she would have a rough time finding employment, a home, etc. Seems to be no hope for her.
Having watched so many parole hearings hers is no different. playing up the religion card. It's been 30 years and she is still working on an associate degree🙄. So are a lot of us that can't get the help to further education.
I don't care what they say she was young and in her 20's it is always about a man. Her lawyer stated she felt that Jesus could take care of them better. How narcissistic of her to think other people couldn't have raised them better if she felt she couldn't do it. The fact that she had her wedding dress and photo album really does make it look like she was just throwing away the trash for a new life. Then the new guy would console her and realize how much he loved her and would want to help her through her loss. She would be free and with no children and only a divorce needed. Yes, Susan could ride off into the sunset with her new man, until she found another one. Of course, she could have just given up her rights as a mother and moved on. Seems so much easier, but she needed this so the new guy would run to her side. She is lucky she is on tv, and the panel can't really see her up close, because from what I can see there are no tears. I would think after 30 years you would not be so dramatically emotional. As you said Paul like she would be more lie the family was. She would be living with this for 30 years and this seems like it should come more smoothly and introspective. It looks likes she is wiping her face so hard to try and make herself cry. Her makeup is dry it isn't even running with all that wiping. I was hoping from her something like "I took my kids life. They were my life, and I was so stupid not to see that. They were innocent I was an evil monster and every day for 30 years I have thought of them and what I took away from them, their father, family, friends and the community. I can't forgive myself, but I would like to try to live a good life and give back to the community that I took something so priceless and precious from." They may let her out like they did Leslie Van Houten one of the Manson girls, but she spent like over 50 years behind bars. So, maybe in in another 30 years when she is 83. She may be a manipulator, but she isn't very good at it. The way she does it everyone could see right through it, and it only got/gets her in trouble. The aunt was pregnant when she was a teenager and Susan use to watch her daughter when she went to night school. The kids would have been close in age, and I bet watching her daughter grow up with all the milestones was/is really hard for the aunt, David and the family. This week and month have been really overwhelming as far as Sara Boone was found guilty, Chloe Driver was found guilty, Jose Ibarra was found guilty, and Susan Smith was denied parole.
Replay crew dropping 1s at the hour and 19 minutes mark lmaooo 😅 Smith needs to stay locked up forever - if for no other reason, than she's an important object lesson to foolish "pick me" women who center their lives around male attention - they ain't worth it, don't do it!
What is he waffling on about? Jesus can take care of them when I can't? Like the children didn't have a father that could when she couldn't. I call BS. I sent them to Jesus because I didn't WANT to care for them. Let's not re-write history. She donated arts and crafts to charity? Is there a scale where that is supposed to be equal in weight to murdering 2 children. 🤦♀️
Hi y’all. On The Best Show last night Tom Scharpling said y’all. He said it was going to haunt him for the next ten years and he would go to confession for his mistake 😂
You know the Behavior Panel would have called that one out too ° i would love for them to analize her behavior here and how those tears were so fake; trying to act as if she has so much remorse when she truly has ZERO ° very pleased with their denial for parole 💯
Such powerful statements from the family, she’s crying as if she heard a sad song. Behavior behind bars doesn’t change the fact she deliberately took her son’s lives , blamed a black man lied to her husband and the world. I wish her nothing but the worst and all of the parole denials.
UMM.. how many more "umms" can her attorney/hype-man fit into his speech? She does the same performative crocodile tears as 30 years ago. She only knows how to _pretend_ at being remorseful, and poorly. She just _had_ to use religion to try to manipulate the parole board... like, how arrogant do you have to be to claim that you _know_ that God forgives you? Were she truly remorseful, she'd accept her life sentence and not even seek parole, as she would see her crimes as we do: heinous and unforgivable.
30 years and I would have about 5 degrees. This BS... Ive almost finished my associates. She is only crying for herself. She could have pulled herself together and apologized to everyone but no she sobbed like she did at her press conference.
She’s been in prison for 30 years so she could have multiple degrees by now, proving she isn’t serious about the Christian counselor degree she was obtaining for the past 30 years.
Can’t believe I missed your live BUT- She always wanted to know why her dad ‘left her’ via suicide.. but she turns around and does that to her two TINY boys. Girl I understand your daddy issue behavior now, but your story will NEVER add up.
She is not a Christian if she believes God has forgiven her. Christians who understand how it works know that forgiveness is up to God and we do NOT know how we will be judged. To even assume you know what God thinks is really a sort of blasphemy, and a lot of hubris! I don't believe she even understands how Christianity works.
"What I've learned from 30 years in prison is that other people matter. Also, forgiveness is important." She didn't have a prayer.
All that time to think of something prolific, and that's what she came up with. LOL.
…… just pitiful that she hasn’t learned a damn thing incarcerated!
Whenever you hear "God has forgiven me" you know there is no remorse. Call God as a character witness, then.
I mean...I'm sure God would (and maybe has, IDK. That's between them) forgive her.
That doesn't mean she should be let out. It's almost laughable she thinks that means something.
The manipulative God has extended mercy therefore you should grated. God's forgiveness doesn't mean there are no consequences for actions. She accepted that grace as her right, not as mercy. Missing the whole point of it.
Word
It’s absurd that they have to go through this every 2 Years. That is unacceptable! Laws need to change.
I was thinking that! Every TWO YEARS! My gawd.
Yeah that is utter bollox.

When David Smith said she had only served 15 years per child, I said out loud “Mic Drop”. I had not thought of it that way and that sweet man was so right!!!!!!!!
his entire testimony was a mic drop. my god.
She blamed black men for this crime and if someone else had been arrested she would not have said a word. Evil person. Hope she never gets out.
💯
Her accusation harmed innocent individuals as well as an entire community.
What speaks volumes is that nobody came to this parole hearing to speak for Susan. Nobody!!! No one in her family cared enough to come speak for her. That speaks volumes.
I'm not sure cared is the right word. They might care...but they have to know she belongs where she is. I'm sure it was hard on her family too.
There were two elderly people there, probably either her parents or her grandparents.
@@mikarose9405they aren’t her parents, the man is a priest and was writing to her every week and the woman is not her mother

She's made arts and crafts that she sent to ST Jude's. Oh well that trumps drowning your children. 🤦🏼♀️
Arts & crafts immediately reminded me of Sarah Boone! Good grief
Well, she’s also working on her associates degree. For 30 years. 🙄

If Dawn Woods shows up and says Susan Smith fell through the crack hole of mental illness I am going to lose it. 🤬
My brain is too tired and I misread your comment as "Daryl Brooks"and got very confused for a moment 😅
I was in high school when this happened, I seen the live tv of Susan Smith pleading for Her kids safe return back to Her. I knew She did it; the next day everyone was talking about it and how sad it was and how They felt so sorry for Susan; I spoke up with my feelings about it, and She did it.

Yep, humans no matter of gender, sex or ethnicity, are capable of horrible things.
Few people have the ability to see past surface emotions. I'm sure you realize by now how rare that is. It makes you feel crazy when it's so obvious to you but not to anyone else.
I remember this case from back when Susan snuffed out those babies. I was a kid myself. He’s not kidding when he says it shocked the entire country.
I was 12, and as a Canadian can confirm that it shocked us, too.

She didn't have depression. She just selfishly wanted to be rid of all the impediments to her flavour of the week.

In no defense of her, a lot of prisons won’t let you start educational classes until your within so many years of your parole eligibility date!

We all gasped in shock on the day Susan Smith was arrested. I remember that day when I saw it on TV.
One who is convicted for murder should never be entitled to freedom. You take a life, you give up yours. Your own children is truly heinous that she would say she loved them but murdered them.
It depends on if you did it or not. Sadly there are people in prison that haven't done the crime that they were convicted of.

It makes sure she can hide that there are no tears AND it also shows she's more worried about her make-up running if there ARE tears the way she's wiping her eyes. Wow. If she were really in the throes of sadness she wouldn't care if her mascara ran. She'd let the tears run. But she's not really crying.
Still fake crying thirty years later
Love listening to you telling your dogs "be nice". Sounds like me with the cats.
Replay crew tonight Paul…. I caught the first part of the hearing while at work but, I missed hearing those speak against! 😢 dammit some of that hurt to hear!
Dear God. I am wrecked.
That was tough to listen to. I'm so saddened that the Smith family will have to go through this every 2 years. Thats wrong on so many levels.
I ask myself that if she were to be out on parole, how long would she last? I would have serious issues if she lived on my street. She’s not a safe person, no one around her would be safe.
It's not only those who she would murder, but those she would leave mangled that she came in contact with. 😮
Paul I could not pay attention to anything that Susan was saying because I could not stop laughing at your reaction to her😅😂
Omg. I was just going to write the same thing u just said. She sounds exactly the same and fakes hurt the same as 30 yrs ago. Didn't believe her then, and still dont.
I cried all the way through the family and prosecutors. And when the (great uncle, I think) spoke about how the family moved the body of David Smith’s brother so he and the boys could be together… wow. That was a loving family. She could have just gotten a divorce. Left the children with the family that wanted and cared for them. There was no need to commit this senseless crime.
Poor Susan, is never her fault. She's so trusting & people always let her down. Oh! & God himself has forgiven her, so you should too. Are you kidding me? Manipulative, conniving, self centered, always thinking about number one. She has not changed one bit. The world is a better place with Susan locked up...forever.
Well said!!
It's almost like she's acting like a psychopath... huh.
Ok finally stopped crying. Brought back a lot of memories, When the men found the boys they were devastated at what they saw and some told about it. The description was horrifying like the men that found the Chris Watts children. I tried to read the book the father wrote but it was too heart wrenching he truly deeply loved his sons. Everything about her is evil.
The fact that these prosecutors and sheriffs are here representing these victims 30 years later is just heartwarming, they care about those boys and David just as much today as they did 30 years ago, that’s more than anyone can say about Susan.
She should never get out... She's not acting too remorseful or grown up...She has had countless affairs with the guards...And countless affairs with men she has come visit her .. She's looking for a Sugar Daddy!!!
First…that opening serenade about wearing shoes! 🤣 so darn funny.
Susan and her speech 😡…pathetic and most people see right through her phoniness!
We all know she wants out to join one of her sugar daddies…that in and of itself is disturbing to the very core.
Why the families have to do this every 2 years is absurd!
Paul, you make everything good
"I know god has forgiven me, so i hope you show the same mercy."
Lmaoooooooo no. Absolutely delusional to think because her god supposedly forgives her means anyone else has to. We're not your god, Susan.
My heart broke for the little sister of the boys. Can you even imagine finding out you had 2 big brothers that were murdered by their own mom? And living in the shadow of all that grief? That is so sad.
Not a single tear dropped from Susan.
Wow, very professional prison-parol board, Distinguished people. I'm impressed.
She better not get paroled that's all I have to say
She's safer in there. We shall see in another 2 years. I hate that for David and the families.
The fact that this is going to be up every two years is pure torture. She should never have gotten possibility for parole, ever
I remember when she was on whatever morning show that was happening at that time. My mother immediately said something ain't right with that woman.❤
Paul and Sofa-Squad. I spent 7 months in Leath Correction in 2010. I was in the same cell block with Susan. I was on the bottem tear and Susan was on the top tear. My job while I was there was in charg of the supply room/closet. I handed out cleaning supplies to other inmates. I saw her every day because her job was cleaning the toilets and showers. No, I never spoke one word to her. Not many inmates did. In the 7 months I was there she "attempted" self exit, by cutting her wrist. She didn't try hard enough. It was an attention grab. I heard she had "tried" several times over the years she had been incarcerated. Like I said, she didn't try hard enough. I had an occasion to go to the mail room with her one day. Leath is a controlled movement prison. You cant leave the unit one at a time. For instance, there were certain days you could go to the library but everyone that wanted to go had to line up at a certain time and all walk in a straight line together to the library. That was the case for every thing. Library breakfast, lunch, dinner, nurse, canteen, etc. Typically mail was brought to the unit at a certain time every day and a CO would do mail call. If you receive something larger than an envelope such as a package with books. The day I went to the the mail room with her, my mama had sent my clothes to wear home. Susan had a package that day so we had to go together. They put us in a holding cell when we got to the mail room to wait on a CO to bring us our packages. While we were waiting I sat quietly on the opposite side of the bench from her. While we were in the holding cell a CO brought 2 new inmates into the cell to wait to go to intake. One of them started talking to Susan. This nut job actually introduced herself to the new inmate. Like, "Hey, I'm Susan Smith, what's your name"? Like she was some famous super star. The inmate said "Oh, are you the one that killed your babies"? Susan said "yeah". The inmate said,"Can I ask you why you did that"? Susan said, with her head held high, shoulders straight and chest out, "I lost touch with reality"!! It took everything in me not to come up off that bench and punch her in her throat!! This bitch said that with pride. She thinks she's a freaking super star!! She does not have it easy in Leath though, most people want even talk to her once they find out who she is. She had one of the worst jobs in the prison. You send your laundry out once a week to be washed. Most of the time she didn't get all of it back and sometimes what she did get back would be torn underwear, socks and t-shirts.😂 That's just a couple examples of how she was treated. It's true, inmates that hurt, abuse or kill children don't fair well in prison and that makes me happy!!😁
Thank God she didn't get parole!!
Rest easy, Michael & Alex!!😇💙😇💙
I'd love to talk to you more about this, if you are open email me at Reportinglivefrommysofa@gmail.com
Oh my gosh ! She became a murderer because her dad died ???????
Sadly for her, she would probably have a miserable life if she were paroled. Everyone hates her and she would have a rough time finding employment, a home, etc. Seems to be no hope for her.
She chose that. It's not like she was wrongfully convicted.
Hello from North Carolina
And of course she’s “found Jesus” and knows he forgives her based on the imaginary conversations she has with him in her head. How convenient.
Having watched so many parole hearings hers is no different. playing up the religion card. It's been 30 years and she is still working on an associate degree🙄. So are a lot of us that can't get the help to further education.
🛋💃💃🛋
Much love to the 💕💕 family 💖💖🛋💖💖
I don't care what they say she was young and in her 20's it is always about a man. Her lawyer stated she felt that Jesus could take care of them better. How narcissistic of her to think other people couldn't have raised them better if she felt she couldn't do it. The fact that she had her wedding dress and photo album really does make it look like she was just throwing away the trash for a new life. Then the new guy would console her and realize how much he loved her and would want to help her through her loss. She would be free and with no children and only a divorce needed. Yes, Susan could ride off into the sunset with her new man, until she found another one. Of course, she could have just given up her rights as a mother and moved on. Seems so much easier, but she needed this so the new guy would run to her side. She is lucky she is on tv, and the panel can't really see her up close, because from what I can see there are no tears. I would think after 30 years you would not be so dramatically emotional. As you said Paul like she would be more lie the family was. She would be living with this for 30 years and this seems like it should come more smoothly and introspective. It looks likes she is wiping her face so hard to try and make herself cry. Her makeup is dry it isn't even running with all that wiping. I was hoping from her something like "I took my kids life. They were my life, and I was so stupid not to see that. They were innocent I was an evil monster and every day for 30 years I have thought of them and what I took away from them, their father, family, friends and the community. I can't forgive myself, but I would like to try to live a good life and give back to the community that I took something so priceless and precious from." They may let her out like they did Leslie Van Houten one of the Manson girls, but she spent like over 50 years behind bars. So, maybe in in another 30 years when she is 83. She may be a manipulator, but she isn't very good at it. The way she does it everyone could see right through it, and it only got/gets her in trouble. The aunt was pregnant when she was a teenager and Susan use to watch her daughter when she went to night school. The kids would have been close in age, and I bet watching her daughter grow up with all the milestones was/is really hard for the aunt, David and the family. This week and month have been really overwhelming as far as Sara Boone was found guilty, Chloe Driver was found guilty, Jose Ibarra was found guilty, and Susan Smith was denied parole.
To your question Paul: Susan will still be in protective custody. Female prisoners do not tolerate women who kill children especially their own.
Of course of course they're going to build her up like that make her look better than she is her parents have no idea what's in her head
Murders asking for mercy just gets my goat. You want us to show you the mercy you couldn’t even show your own children.
Replay crew dropping 1s at the hour and 19 minutes mark lmaooo
😅
Smith needs to stay locked up forever - if for no other reason, than she's an important object lesson to foolish "pick me" women who center their lives around male attention - they ain't worth it, don't do it!
What is he waffling on about?
Jesus can take care of them when I can't? Like the children didn't have a father that could when she couldn't. I call BS.
I sent them to Jesus because I didn't WANT to care for them.
Let's not re-write history.
She donated arts and crafts to charity? Is there a scale where that is supposed to be equal in weight to murdering 2 children. 🤦♀️
Hi Paul 👋 Thanks for the good news ! Your 2 doggies 😮😂
“We’re not here to talk about the trial”
Proceeds to talk about the trial 🤦🏼♀️
Her family love her and are there for her! So why weren’t they at the parole hearing ?🤔
Maybe they can't forgive what she did. You can still live people and dislike them and their actions.
Hi y’all. On The Best Show last night Tom Scharpling said y’all. He said it was going to haunt him for the next ten years and he would go to confession for his mistake 😂
30:59 shakes her head no the entire time she talks. Like everything she says is a lie.
You know the Behavior Panel would have called that one out too ° i would love for them to analize her behavior here and how those tears were so fake; trying to act as if she has so much remorse when she truly has ZERO ° very pleased with their denial for parole 💯
The body knows 😂
Still no tears. Same actions 30 years later
Such powerful statements from the family, she’s crying as if she heard a sad song. Behavior behind bars doesn’t change the fact she deliberately took her son’s lives , blamed a black man lied to her husband and the world. I wish her nothing but the worst and all of the parole denials.
Dramatics are the same!!!!!
UMM.. how many more "umms" can her attorney/hype-man fit into his speech?
She does the same performative crocodile tears as 30 years ago. She only knows how to _pretend_ at being remorseful, and poorly.
She just _had_ to use religion to try to manipulate the parole board... like, how arrogant do you have to be to claim that you _know_ that God forgives you?
Were she truly remorseful, she'd accept her life sentence and not even seek parole, as she would see her crimes as we do: heinous and unforgivable.
Grew up at 43 last infraction
She DID lie to get away with it. She caused harm to innocent Black men and an entire community.
Dropped it like I forgot my oven mitt.
Say UMMMM one more time please 🙄
Not one tear.
Soo many flowers left on Michael & Alex's find a grave memorial page today, 11/20/24.
🩵🩵🤍🤍
Can you post a link please? 🤍
30 years and I would have about 5 degrees. This BS... Ive almost finished my associates.
She is only crying for herself. She could have pulled herself together and apologized to everyone but no she sobbed like she did at her press conference.
Not one tear coming from this Christian. Puh-lease 😮. She hasn't changed a bit.
She’s been in prison for 30 years so she could have multiple degrees by now, proving she isn’t serious about the Christian counselor degree she was obtaining for the past 30 years.
She deserves absolutely nothing
The aunt was Susan’s sister.
Can’t believe I missed your live BUT-
She always wanted to know why her dad ‘left her’ via suicide.. but she turns around and does that to her two TINY boys. Girl I understand your daddy issue behavior now, but your story will NEVER add up.
She is not a Christian if she believes God has forgiven her. Christians who understand how it works know that forgiveness is up to God and we do NOT know how we will be judged. To even assume you know what God thinks is really a sort of blasphemy, and a lot of hubris! I don't believe she even understands how Christianity works.
