Unfortunately in those days, life meant you could be paroled in 30 years, that was the law at the time. But I can't think of anything that would be more deserving of the death penatly than what she did.
Her Mother thinks She's Being Brutalized!!?? What About What She Did To Her Own Children!!?? Those Children Were Your Grandkids Lady! You Didn't Even Say One Word About Michael and Alex! It Was All About Susan. I See The Apple Didn't Fall Far From The Tree!
Her mother is no one to lecture anybody for anything. The man she married (Bev Russell, Susan's stepdad) sexually molested Susan for years. When Susan told school counselors, they tried to do something about it. However, Bev Russell was kind of a "big wig" in the area, so it was swept under the rug. The mom stayed right with the man. It even continued after that. It happened not long before she married David. To be honest, I don't know if David ever had a paternity test done on those boys or not. Susan was always a rough one, if you know what I mean.
Wait so that poor family has to go through presenting why she should not be released ? That’s just abhorrent and wrong. It should be at least 10 years extra
Life means life. The judicial system is so corrupt and broken. She premeditatedly put her kids in a car and drowned them. Why should she have ANY OPPORTUNITY TO GET OUT. Keep her there .
This lady is such a disappointment. Even after living in prison she could only muster up a fake cry. She said something about learning from her mistakes or growing up and changing. You don’t need any of those to know you’re not supposed to hurt your children. I still don’t understand how she was given a chance of parole. It’s like two for the price of one human life.
@morganjanelle4282 😢😢😢How sad! Nooo Noo! Do NOTlet her out on Parole not even another Hearing! She needs to suffer another 30 years first one was for Michael the second one for Alex RIP! Michael and Alexander Yiu would of been about the same age as my daughter today age 30 She was born a year earlier after this happened!😢😢😢
People don't read her history which explains what made her so mentally ill. The media is disgusting. This does not excuse her act but it explains her mind.
The parole board members did the right thing. This woman should not be given the chance to walk free since her sons never had the chance to grow up and make their own decisions.
30 years and the single thing she never said today was what she learnt in prison over 30 years. I’d have said what I did to my children was beyond brutal and I deserved the 30 years I’d served and I’d have said I’ve learnt it’s never ok to take a life for any reason. She hasn’t learnt anything in the 30 years she’s had in prison to think about her actions and the pain she has caused even to people worldwide who watched at the time and believed her story.
I have two sons - the same age as Michael and Alex would have been. They are 30 and 33 now, and they have always been my entire heart. I can't fathom what kind of devil would do that to her babies. I remember weeping for them when they were found, and following that devil's case. I pray she never sees the outside of prison.
The parole board, some justice today by keeping this monster incarcerated. She killed the most vulnerable of the vulnerable her own children There’s no remorse. There’s no rehabilitation. She needs to rotten jail for the rest of her life.
The sad part is many men live through this Today, knowing if they call police. These bipolar dysfunctional women will lie to police & have the Husband arrested.
The thing that amazes me most about this case is that ANYBODY was ever fooled by Susan Smith. I was 35 when it happened and I remember the incident like it happened yesterday. From the moment I heard her story I was incredulous. It just didn't make any sense whatsoever What would a black carjacker want with two little white kids? You'd be in enough trouble for carjacking. Why add a kidnapping charge while also making yourself the target of a nationwide manhunt? Then I saw the Susan and David Smith press conferences and any residual doubt I had that she was lying vanished. That was by far the worst and least convincing show of fake grief I've ever seen. I know that different people show grief differently but I never heard of anyone who showed it by smirking. Couldn't anyone else see that when Smith was dry-crying and trying to sound distraught, she could not keep the corners of her mouth from turning UP into a sort of smirk Whether you were born during the day or at night, unless it was yesterday or last night you shouldn't have been fooled by Susan Smith.
Same i was 34 and remember it like yesterday and was blown away at how she was treated so nice and privileged it seemed I've never understood and still don't know how so many people couldn't see how evil
As far as I'm concern, Susan Smith should be in prison forever. Maybe release when she's in her mid 70s and simply not mentally and physically capable or hurting another innocent person again. But I would love to know what was in her mind when she was 22-23 back then. And did she really think she would get away with it.
I’ll never forget how I just completely lost it, crying my eyes out when I heard on the news that she’d confessed, or the cold chill that ran through me in that horrible moment. I’ll never fully get over it.
This lady has learned absolutely nothing. Heck, if she really wanted to reform she would have been a model prisoner. She hasn't been. She's been caught using drugs, having sex with guards, mutilating herself, and using another inmate's pin number. This lady cares about one person, and that is herself. She should never be let out of prison.
Smith's father died by suicide when she was six years old, and Smith herself attempted suicide at age 13. Her mother then married Beverly C. Russell Jr. who later was revealed to have molested Smith when she was a teenager. Russell was a local businessman who later gained prominence in South Carolina's Republican Party and the Christian Coalition. Both Smith and Russell have stated that sexual relations between them continued until six months before the murders.[7][8] If people would only do some research to understand, not excuse, why people behave the way they do. The human mind is very delicate and those whose minds are not sensitive are very dangerous. Sure David Smith has aged, but you can see how a healthy mind can be worn down. His life is ruined too.
How she sat on that sofa and chastised a man who didnt exist is beyond me. I remember this like it was yesterday. Keep her locked up until she draws her last breath.
I don't think anyone is going to grant her parole honestly, but I guess soon or later they might but the severity of the crime is going to denial of parole
This was so crazy. I was 17 and this case was big. I was worried about what happened to those kids and then I was shocked when it turns out she made it all up abd was the one that killed them.
So MANY ruined lives!! I was shocked and saddened to see poor David, his lovely wife, Tiffany, their daughter Savannah and family and friends. They are still SO affected! Shame on her! Her mother says 'we should be ashamed??' SHE murdered those children, not the public! She would have let an innocent black man go to the chair she would have so she could have Tom Findlay who said her children were just ONE of MANY reasons he did NOT want her!
She shouldn't be released any time soon but the Menendez brothers are a different story. They should 100% be released. If you think they should still be in jail, you haven't done one second of research on their case.
She was always smirking.
The Family should not have to keep facing a parole board every 2 years. Her sentence was life.
Unfortunately in those days, life meant you could be paroled in 30 years, that was the law at the time. But I can't think of anything that would be more deserving of the death penatly than what she did.

True.... Disturbing. You can then see wherein the issue lies...
I feel her mother was brutalized by Susan too. Those were her grand kids that were killed.
Her mother is no one to lecture anybody for anything. The man she married (Bev Russell, Susan's stepdad) sexually molested Susan for years. When Susan told school counselors, they tried to do something about it. However, Bev Russell was kind of a "big wig" in the area, so it was swept under the rug. The mom stayed right with the man.

@stephaniels5421 Agree 💯
Her mother sounds just as crazy as her
The black people said “I didn’t believe her”😂😂😂
We know Karen’s that’s why, 😂😂😂😂
I'm white and didn't believe her
😂 Auntie was straight forward, "SOMETHING AINT RIGHT"
Mind you she said a black man did it
@@baizeenamz Her brother had the grace to apologize for the family at least.
R.I.P. [rot in prison]
This my favorite comment friend
love this response
@hankterreros223 i like this to!
Actually
Absolutely
She should have never gotten parole. Ever.
She didn't get parole 😊
@@HellavaLive she didn’t get parole. They denied her. As they should have
Think maybe she meant parole as a possibility. As in “30yrs to life without the possibility of parole”.
Yes she should have gotten life with no change for parole
Well She did nd it WAS denied
She should have gotten the death penalty.
The fact Smith can apply for parole now every 2 years is shocking.
Wait so that poor family has to go through presenting why she should not be released ? That’s just abhorrent and wrong. It should be at least 10 years extra
She said herself that it would, "take a very sick and emotional unstable person...", all the more reason why she should never be paroled!!!
Her smirk says it all!!!🤨🤨
Thats what kept me thinking she did it herself
Life means life. The judicial system is so corrupt and broken. She premeditatedly put her kids in a car and drowned them. Why should she have ANY OPPORTUNITY TO GET OUT. Keep her there .
This lady is such a disappointment. Even after living in prison she could only muster up a fake cry. She said something about learning from her mistakes or growing up and changing. You don’t need any of those to know you’re not supposed to hurt your children. I still don’t understand how she was given a chance of parole. It’s like two for the price of one human life.
And why is a criminal like this offered any parole??? Disgusting.
Because in 1994 life in prison meant at least 30 years before parole
It’s outrageous that she’s eligible for parole every 2 years. Her kids got the death sentence
I will never forget the night they pulled that car out of the lake. All the helicopters overhead and people crying everywhere
@NurseKristin What makes this even _more_ heartbreaking is that when they pulled the car out of the lake, Michael & Alex were *holding hands.* 😭💔
@morganjanelle4282 😢😢😢How sad! Nooo Noo! Do NOTlet her out on Parole not even another Hearing! She needs to suffer another 30 years first one was for Michael the second one for Alex RIP! Michael and Alexander Yiu would of been about the same age as my daughter today age 30 She was born a year earlier after this happened!😢😢😢
@@morganjanelle4282 I didn't know that. Holding back tears but I don't think it is going to work.
Really? They hold hands? Heart-broken. @@morganjanelle4282
She should’ve gotten 30 years, but for each child, which would be 60.
After watching the full parole board hearing, I can say with confidence Susan is never 👎 getting out of jail. She will be there for life.
I originally thought that was the case!
You have great mathematical skills
@@krisinalana1193I think the sentence was 30 to Life
Yes! I agree!
Her mother is a disgrace and she should be ashamed of herself
People don't read her history which explains what made her so mentally ill. The media is disgusting. This does not excuse her act but it explains her mind.
@@albertmarnell9976Honestly, the mom is not at fault for this. She didn't know that her own daughter will do such a terrible crime.
No, but she also did nothing when her daughter was being sexually abused.
The parole board members did the right thing. This woman should not be given the chance to walk free since her sons never had the chance to grow up and make their own decisions.
I was 18 when this happened I remember it like it was yesterday I was sad at 18 and now sad at 48
I was 12, I remember seeing their pics and thinking how they were the most adorable little boys I had ever seen. 😔
@@McCarthy0000 They really were
I was also 12 and thought they such darling lil boys to. Such a shame. 😢
How could she do that. Pure evil.
It amazes me that she is still alive in prison.
Exactly!
She is probably protected. Don’t forget that she had sexual relationships with guards.
@@Loulou-sr3tk Oh yeah that too.
I dont get how people couldnt tell she was lying. It was so obvious to me
A very sick woman she was laughing in the courtroom
Susans Mom should have been ashamed of her daughter and her husband who was abusing her daughter.
Blaming a black man just awful.
Exactly
Exactly
Would it be better a Hispanic or Asian?? Would that make you feel better?
A black man that didn’t even exist!
@@Jtao3466 no matter what race, you should never blame anyone for the death of 2 little angels.
1:35 everybody believe yeah no only people that look like you did. She tried blaming my group.
...this woman es garbage!
Correct
Lot of people didn't believe her regardless of the color of their skin you don't do that
Your group is the bottom of society, though.
Group of what? Care to explain?

I will never forget this day. I was in the seventh grade when my homeroom teacher told us all about this case. So sad.
The sad part is many men live through this Today, knowing if they call police.
These bipolar dysfunctional women will lie to police & have the Husband arrested.
Its crazy how people can just blame stuff on black people and some polices will actually believe them
Wonder why lol
Should of gotten the death penalty
Right👍
“Should (HAVE)…”.🙏
Why? Why did she do this???
Lmfao! Sick individual is right. Keep her in jail!
Her Mother should be ashamed of herself as she cares more about her daughter the murderer over the victims who are 2 sweet little boys.
She said "It takes a very sick person to do that to children" 😳Welp ..she called it .
Awww i miss Dan Rather❤

Same i was 34 and remember it like yesterday and was blown away at how she was treated so nice and privileged it seemed
I've never understood and still don't know how so many people couldn't see how evil
The way the crowd reacts at 0:47 has always stuck with me
As far as I'm concern, Susan Smith should be in prison forever. Maybe release when she's in her mid 70s and simply not mentally and physically capable or hurting another innocent person again. But I would love to know what was in her mind when she was 22-23 back then. And did she really think she would get away with it.
Don't let her out at all
Parol turned down.
Of course the mother makes excuses for her daughter. WP have a thing for saving face. Their children can never do any wrong.
leave her in prison
I’ll never forget how I just completely lost it, crying my eyes out when I heard on the news that she’d confessed, or the cold chill that ran through me in that horrible moment. I’ll never fully get over it.

She’s evil personified! Let her complete her sentence, life imprisonment.
She killed her kids for another man that didn't want children.
L I F E in prison isn't even enough.
She should rot in there… evil woman, has not changed a bit still all about deceiving, she does not care about the pain she caused
That woman never get out of prison what mother does that killing her children she should stayed in prison for lifetime
Praying for David and his family
Susan Smith spend Thanksgiving in jail
Her mom is almost as bad as Susan if she thinks what Susan did to her grandsons was ok.
Smith's father died by suicide when she was six years old, and Smith herself attempted suicide at age 13. Her mother then married Beverly C. Russell Jr. who later was revealed to have molested Smith when she was a teenager. Russell was a local businessman who later gained prominence in South Carolina's Republican Party and the Christian Coalition.

Hmm! Good this evil woman wasn't granted parole due to the fact that she doesn't deserve it! 🙄
How she sat on that sofa and chastised a man who didnt exist is beyond me.
I remember this like it was yesterday. Keep her locked up until she draws her last breath.
She's only done 15yrs per child that's not enough. She should have gotten life and hopefully the parole board keeps her locked up another 80yrs
I remember seeing this covered years ago and she told the lead detective I figured you knew all along.
Those 2 little boys were killed by their own mother..she is disgusting
If she wasn't in her right mind why did she say it she had to know what she was doing!
Forgot to mention, Susan Smith tried to blame it on a Black man. Imagine how many men could have been innocently charged.
Like anybody cares what her mother thinks😂
My poor elderly blind mother in Australia cried over those little boys. 😢😢
I don't think anyone is going to grant her parole honestly, but I guess soon or later they might but the severity of the crime is going to denial of parole
Apologize to that black man you accused!
Dont drop the Soap in the shower ... 😂
I'm surprised nobody has taken care of her in prison yet!!!
From the beginning you can tell she was lying.
🤦♀️
I just heard about it again after forgetting how messed up it was and I think she could use another 25 years.
Oh ok she should stay another 20 more years.
This was so crazy. I was 17 and this case was big. I was worried about what happened to those kids and then I was shocked when it turns out she made it all up abd was the one that killed them.
She could have given them to any family member or even a total stranger and they would have been safer than with her.
And she killed her kids because her boyfriend didn’t want to be a father disgusting woman rotten in jail
I felt she was guilty from Day 1.
So MANY ruined lives!! I was shocked and saddened to see poor David, his lovely wife, Tiffany, their daughter Savannah and family and friends. They are still SO affected! Shame on her!

She should join Sue Logue.
She wanted the wealth that he had and he didn’t want kids so for her to have all that wealth , she decided to grant that guys say of not wanting kids
Feel For That Father,
But She Also Said OTHER Had Took Her Kids
And That Picture Of That Man
Blew Alot People Mind
I still wonder if both boys were the bio children of her stepfather --- that's why she killed them
No. They were not. Not both of them. Not either of them.
😂😂😂 that is so funny Monica

Agreed.
