I believe the black community had every right to be upset because Smith was willing to place blame and possible arrest and conviction of an innocent black man had one been unfortunate enough to have gotten caught because he happen to look similar to the sketch, or been in the area!
The good thing is that the authorities were in good in serving the community. Both black and white. For black people, very few black men were questioned and released. For the white community initially investigating her story at face value . Then they eventually questioned her until she confessed . This is what helped not another Charles Stuart case. It's still a shame though what she did to those children, their father and family and the community . No remorse at all they should be here in their 30's probably father's themselves.
The crazy thing is, had a Black man actually hijacked this woman and killed those little boys he would've most likely gotten the death penalty but now Susan Smith is up for a parole hearing.
She's knew exactly what she was doing. Which is why she tried to hide it and blame it on a black man. Even in prison, she's getting written up for different violations.
@tyronethomas4543 sure she did.dont forget they are very prejudice in the south!!and at that time in 94, there was things not acceptable like there is today
Same.😢😢. I’m not even a Mom but I can’t imagine what was in her heart to be able to cold-heartedly do something like this. Really cruel and soulless.😢😢
I was around 12 when this happened. My late grandfather knew she was a liar when we all saw the recording on tv of her pleading for the boys. He’s the one who broke the news to me that she confessed to their murder. So evil and horrific!
Right they would have found me and mine at the bottom of that lake but as a blk woman I'm not doing this crap hurt my feelings to no a mother would do this.
How were they heroes? They just went out to look for someone. I can go do that right now and I'd be a hero?? They were decent people, sure, but heroic? And praying does eff all....definitely not heroic.
At 1:47 It’s chilling to think that those babies were underneath the water, that very water, at this moment when the news was filming, not long after their murder. We were looking directly at their location and had no idea.
I am under the impression she will get parole. The kids father is horrified by the thought of her even having the opportunity. Shameful, life in prison is life.
Oh there's no way she's going to get paroled that's for sure people do not forget baby killers. And I believe similar to North Carolina the death penalty had to be a unanimous decision by the jury.
@AliciaMarie-dj1oy oh yes they did. It was 1994. My 1st born daughter was a year old when this occurred. I suffered from PPD and PPS after her birth. I saught help and got it.
Not - so - fun - fact, she has a parole hearing next month ( November 2024 ). But from my understanding, her behavior has been less than stellar since she was sentenced.
I was personally in prison with Susan Smith. Unfortunately, I had an addiction problem years ago and made bad decisions that led me down a dark road. I'm blessed now to be sober for 6 years. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 With that being said, I spent 17 months in prison with Susan. What I can tell you is this woman is NOT SORRY FOR WHAT SHE DID. She walks around that prison like a superstar. To this day, she gets "fan mail" by the dozens. She has tons of money stacked up and literally got famous for murdering her babies. The majority of the co's couldn't stand the attention she was getting and her demeanor. She had an affair with a guard and now claims to be a Christian. Her actions do not represent a Christian. 30 years is not long enough for 2 babies dead.
I figured as such she didn't show any remorse narcissist usually don't do that and I believe David should sue her for wrongful death any money she got should go to him I just felt that should be proper reimbursement for the heartache he had to suffer for the last 30 years. Also good luck to you getting your life together unlike that witch, you have a second chance and your freedom in which I know she will never get when her parole hearing starts.
I was in a rehab with a young lady who was in the same prison as Susan Smith and she said that Susan gets a ton of gifts from people and gives some of the gifts to other inmates. Maybe that’s how she buys the other inmates from beating her a$$ every day. I am so glad that her parole is denied. She needs to spend the rest of her life in prison. Just look at how Mr. David Smith is suffering for the rest of his life. She is so disgusting and unrepentant
@@YvonneSmith-k8h It's kind of crazy, because birds of a feather flock together. She had her other "baby killer" friends that she hung with, but she didn't have any remorse walking that yard.

That is standard police investigation procedure. They will always investigate the person who makes the report alongside all other persons of interests. They will run several investigations at the same time in order not to waste time. Also, whatever story the person tells, no matter how bizarre, or how many times they change their story, they will also run an investigation into each and every story. Police detectives believe no one nor take any story as fact at face value. They do not give the benefit of the doubt to anyone. They are trained to investigate everything that comes their way and let the evidence reveal the truth on its own. This eliminates biases, personal feelings and subjectivity.
This is a really neat way to do a recap of the story-just putting the news story clips in order from beginning to end, no narration or interviews, or frills. Great watch.
Those poor babies they were drowned and in the water the whole time , she slept at night knowing the kids were in the car in the water ! Disgusting evil women
I think of the countless Black teenagers and men who were picked up by law enforcement and harassed by the public because of that woman's lies. I think of the people in the community whose hopes were dashed and the family whose hearts were crushed beneath the weight of her crime. And finally I think of those two babies, Micharel and Alex, who'd both be in their 30s, if only they'd been permitted to live by their mother.
She wanted to end her life but decided to end her childrens lifes. She wanted to get rid of them to be with her lover and cared more about herself than anyone else.
I remember this. I was so terrified that someone would do such a thing. I honestly did not believe things went the way she said. But the terror she instilled in the black community, Every community will never be forgotten... She should NEVER be allowed out of prison. As far as I am concerned 30 years was not even half of the time for 1 baby never the less 2!! She should have gotten the death penalty!
30* yrs later we have Susan Smih coming up for parole Also Yalonda Salvidar is eligible for parole in March 2025 for the murder of Selena in 1995. Now the Menendez brothers will have a chance for resentencing for parole who killed both of their parents in 1989.
The Menendez brothers case is a lot different than this. People are paroled all the time who committed murder, but this awful human doesn’t ever deserve to be free
She’s evil! With my wonderful father the day we heard the news… my dad (he’s a great soldier & family man) became infuriated and cried. Yep, a man who loves loves children but rarely cried- broke down. He called this woman a demonic monster for watching her two little boys screaming for her to help them as they drown in the car! Never never let her out of the prison cell!
Savvy people insisted no Black male would hijack a car with two young white kids in their car seats. She caused great consternation to the community & fear that innocent Blacks would be in danger during that dragnet.
This bears similarities with Chris Watts case. He wiped out his whole family in order to be with his new girlfriend Nicki Kessinger. Evil walks among us. 😢😢😢
Oh trust me there were a lot of angry people back then I was 12 years old when this happened I remember going to school and I never saw so many angry teachers in my life and even the talk shows were livid they were interviewing people who lived in Union some of them volunteers who knew Susan Smith and they were very angry
I thought the exact same thing, and kept telling my Husband to the end of this video that I wish they would interview her again so she could tell us all again "what a great Mother" this demonic, waste of breath really was!!!!
I was working and the women I worked with at the time they all felt sorry for her I told them she was lying and she killed her children she never cried or showed any remorse she is a horrible woman
I was a young mom as well when this happened, I see what beautiful adults mine have grown to be, and i wonder what those two boys would have grown up to be. She should never see the light of day. What she did is the ultimate betrayal to her family and a nation who prayed everyday for their safe return!😢
I don’t know about now, but North Carolina had the death penalty back then. I know for a fact that if it was a black man, he would be a on death row or executed by now.
@@apok1980 If it had been any stranger they would get the death penalty because it would of be, well, a stranger. She was a parent. The likelihood of her committing the same crime again is low.
I live in Ga, I am 70 years old and I too had two children when this happened and now I am a grandmother of 4. To this day I have never had anything that has happened to affect me like this case. I cried many tears and prayed many prayers. I say this when just a few years ago I have a friend that was the mother of four children, 3 boys and 1 girl. On one of her son’s sixteenth birthday he was driving his car to school with his brother and sister and mother and pulled in front of a tractor trailer truck killing him, his brother, and his sister. His mother barely survived the accident. It happened right up the road from my home and I pass the field that the car landed every single day. I passed by the accident as I was coming back home from taking my grandchildren to school but did not recognize the SUV but knew it was bad. My town of Thomson was devastated to the max also, BUT this did not affect me in the same way because it was just that an accident!! They were a very Christian family and their mother is the strongest person I will EVER know in my life! But these two babies were drowned alive by their own mother and that I will never get over, never. She was not mentally disturbed she was just selfish and did the unthinkable. She has not received half of what she deserves. Her real punishment will Lu come from God and that I do accept.
I too, live in north ga and had 2 kids at the time, it was traumatic to a lot of people so I do understand what you're talking about. I remember some family members saying they would have gladly taken the boys, it was very sad.
I didn't realize they didn't find them for NINE days. They were in the water for NINE days. No parole until she's NINETY. Their dad wanted to see them after they were found but was advised not to. OMG! No mercy.
How stupid could Susan be? Obviously, Tim Findlay wanted NOTHING to do with her whether she had the kids or not. He just used an excuse to get rid of her by saying he didn’t want the children. If he really loved her, he would gladly accept her sons Mike and Alex, no matter what.
I totally agree, and above all else those babies Daddy loved them very much and all she had to do was give them to their Daddy and go to China with 10 men if she wanted. Nobody would have cared!!!!
Yes. I heard that too. But they were so very young that I believe that they couldn’t have consciously done this especially if they were fighting for their lives under water. This is just speculation on my part, but if that story is true, could she have staged this…if you know what I mean? Those babies were very beautiful. Such a sad thing.
I remember all this. I saw it on the news all day long. Like so many, i believed susan. But, after the detectives said why they suspected her. I rewatched her press conferences. Then could see she was lieing. This is the first case i fallowed. That showed me the signs to look for if someone was faking. She acted like she was crying. But there weren't any tears and the sounds of her voice didn't match actions. After her, I've seen this type of behavior many times. A narrassist can't hide their true feeling. Their actions will always betray them.
22:29 that is exactly how the entire country felt I remember going to school seeing so many angry teachers and students. I even remember seeing a special on Oprah she was interviewing some of the residents of Union and my goodness the women who helped her or were volunteers they were really really mad I have never seen such an angry audience at any talk show ever, it really show that this woman is truly hated and even after 30 years she is still the most hated woman in America.
Those poor little boys suffered a terrible death,all thanks to their mother,and her wickedness.They should be grown men,now,with their own children,friends and careers.She stopped that happening.30 years is nowhere near enough.
NEVER PAROLE HER, AS THE BABIES CANT BE PAROLED FROM THEIR LITTLE COFFIN, SHE SHOULD HAVE GOT THE DEATH PENALTY, SO SPENDING LIFE IN PRISON, SHE SHOULD CONSIDER HERSELF LUCKY. PLEASE NEVER PAROLE HER OUT.😡😡😡 MOTHER OF TWO GROWN SONS.
That fact that she killed children, her own children are sick. These are agervating circumstances. Therefore, she should never be allowed to walk outside of a prison ever again.
This is the trial where the Prosecutor showed the jury a video in court of a camera mounted inside of a car sinking into the lake. He got the exact year model car and strapped the camera where the 2 boys would hv been sitting Took 6 minutes for the car to sink Absolute next level lawyering
It's a miracle that he was able to move on anyone else would probably be too distraught and take their own lives. But I've seen a recent interview with him about her being paroled and he stated that would be his worst fear and when you look at its eyes they look pretty red you can tell he was crying that was the face of a very broken man.
The only difference between her and Diane Downs is Diane Downs literally changes her story every parole hearing and this whole thing she's getting out the first time Shoes in Bloomington on a black guy Diane blamed it on the bushy hair stranger I mean these people absolutely ridiculous Thank God and Diane's case the prosecutor adopted two beautiful children the third child she had finally found her way in life I mean it's just insane Thank God David was able to find a wife and have beautiful children with her and find happiness in life and I'm so sorry he even has to think this monster is going to be on the street
Even holding my 1 year old daughter. My 1st born when this was aired in 1994 I knew she was guilty. She shed not one single tear. Nothing but a show of crocodile tears. Her husband was already in the process of filing for divorce.
Youre supposed to love your kids not kill them,let say a black man did do it he would never ever been elgiible for parole,he wouldve done life without or death,so we find out the mom did it so she gets 15 years per child WTF
There are many similarities between the Susan Smith and Diane Downs cases. Diane is up for parole every 10 years. She has been denied each time. May Susan Smith be denied parole as well.
WHY on earth do y’all coloreds come to this comment section and ONLY make comments about being “offended” about that monster mom who blamed a fake black man who didn’t exist over the murders of two precious baby boys? What’s wrong with you people? And y’all want us to feel sorry for y’all? NO WAY! And stop playing the perpetual “victim” in evey way! You aren’t! Not even close! Be lucky you live in the greatest Country in the world that our White Founding fathers created and gave yall citizenship and opportunities in. And be grateful to my white ancestors who fought in every American war, but over 10 of my ancestor white men who fought in the civil war losing life and limb to free y’all bc y’all could not do it yourselves like always!!!
@@illseeyouinmars9630 yes and that why the state ripped up that very boat ramp and ripped off that whole area so nobody could ever drive on it again bc it’s a large slope.
Not comparable. The Menendez brothers killed their parents after years of abuse; their father has been outed as a predator. Susan Smith killed her innocent babies over a man.
@@laurahoward5426 lol ok yeah us Carolinians are soooo mean and rac*st like that huh? NO! Btw, why are you and all the black people just soooo mad about her blaming a fake black man who never existed over the mur*ers of two precious, innocent baby boys? That is what’s truly disgusting with you people! Y’all are all about yourselves and what “offends” you. Ridiculous! And btw I’m proud to be a Southerner!
Watching Court TV , she was denied parole but prosecutor in her case stated how she laughed in court as a reenactment of the car sinking in the lake to show how long it too , without jury presence but cried during the video when jurors were present
Susan Smith was an evil creature in the making. Taking the lives of two babies was unforgivable but it got her where she needs to be. She had the soul of a serial killer and I guarantee if she got away with the murder of the boys, her husband would have been next...then it would have been anybody else who got in her way of whatever she wanted. Shes that tye of woman who would murder as long as she got away with it. I dont think Susan realizes there's not much of a life for her in the free world as I cant imagine any community in the country who would welcome her..and living a reclusive life doesnt sound like something Susan would be happy with. It would only lead to trouble.
To murder your 2 young children watching them die while strapped into their car seats is an especially evil person who is not even human to do something so cruel then blame a black man is so repulsive 🤮 I am so glad that if she does get parole that everyone knows what she did and who she is, hopefully she has been through menopause by now and won’t be able to have any more children 😢
I was 14 when it this happened. I knew she was lying when she said a black man” I said “ ahh thee old scary back man.” I knew she was lying right then and there.
Those poor little boys probably panicked when they saw the water coming into the car. There’s a special place in hell for evil mothers who kill children
For me, it was her verbiage that told me she did it. By her saying things like, “you boys, stay strong, and your mama and daddy love you,” told me something was off. She was just looking for things to say that would sound like she was loving. But telling a three-year-old and a 14 month old to stay strong didn’t sound right. It’s not like they would understand that. It wasn’t logical for her to say these things.
Why were people who were not residents of the area going to see the spot where the children drowned? And the couple from Alaska who came to video seemed ghoulish. Wondering if they vacation at crime scenes.
30 years and remember like yesterday and just knew she was lying but to have done that just wow always will be inconceivable and that poor Dad who would have just taken them I hope she never gets out
What a perfidious woman🤨, it is an insult to the entire society if they let her go free, after committing such an atrocity with her two children, why are they going to let her go free?🤔 I lived in the USA in the year(right now I live in Europe) that this case occurred and the outcome when the truth was discovered was devastating, she did all of that for one man's love,what a BS...💩💩💩
There was one detective that was on this case that saw right through her crap from day one and never believed a black man did it at all you people on here can cool it about the black people getting harassed because not that many were I can assure you
Hey now, us Southern women which most of us are classy ladies, raised up very conservative in the Bible Belt and very traditional are the only ones left. Trust me, us southern women here in Carolina are absolutely not feminists and are very traditional ladies. But those northerner women are NUTS!
That was one of the hardest things I have ever watched on television. I remember this trial 30 years ago. I couldn’t believe how any kind of mother, would kill their own children? There wasn’t any mention of mental health 30 years ago. Now to this day, it is still very underrated. I do believe she was and still is mentally ill. Otherwise how could their own mother could kill their own children?
I remember this like yesterday, was talking to my Mother on the phone when they showed her fake crying for her boys… we both said at the same time “SHES LYING”, and we were so right. I hope she stays in prison!
My mother said the same thing after she watched Susan pleading for the children's return. She said Susan either did something to them or she knows where they are, before Susan admitted what she did
I believe the black community had every right to be upset because Smith was willing to place blame and possible arrest and conviction of an innocent black man had one been unfortunate enough to have gotten caught because he happen to look similar to the sketch, or been in the area!
@Wendy-Williams-NC she gave a damn good details and makes me wonder who she studied . And whatever happen the affair? I think that guy was involed
Absolutely despicable. Out here just ruining lives. She hasn’t changed

IKR... they could've been all grown up now and in their 30s. She robbed them of that.
She’s evil! With my wonderful father the day we heard the news… my dad (he’s a great soldier & family man) became infuriated and cried. Yep, a man who loves loves children but rarely cried- broke down. He called this woman a demonic monster for watching her two little boys screaming for her to help them as they drown in the car! Never never let her out of the prison cell!
How dare she blames a Blackman😡😡
Why would he drop her off at a lake?! Lousy lie! She needs to stay in prison!
What are you talking about?
shes saying that why would the black man drop off Susan smith by the lake,as she claimed
What a lying witch ! Knowing the entire time her poor babies were in the water, still strapped in the car seats how terrifying they must of been 😢
Michael and Alex will NEVER get parole. Why should Susan Smith?
Savvy people insisted no Black male would hijack a car with two young white kids in their car seats. She caused great consternation to the community & fear that innocent Blacks would be in danger during that dragnet.
The people look like the people in my hometown. Not to intelligent
This bears similarities with Chris Watts case. He wiped out his whole family in order to be with his new girlfriend Nicki Kessinger. Evil walks among us. 😢😢😢
Yes This world as sick people in it So sad 😢😢
Keep her in prison
And if I’m not mistaken, that’s the boat ramp that she rolled the car down.
Absolutely blood chilling
Dear Michael, Dear Alexander RIP
I wonder how the people felt who mentioned the mother after they found out she did it. Yikes.
Oh trust me there were a lot of angry people back then I was 12 years old when this happened I remember going to school and I never saw so many angry teachers in my life and even the talk shows were livid they were interviewing people who lived in Union some of them volunteers who knew Susan Smith and they were very angry
Life to me isn't 30 years! Its "for the rest of your" living breathing life.
We will never forget those precious boys. May we always remember 🙏💕💕🙏
And Haley Hardwick .. never forget those babies
Kind of weird how the dark-haired friend of Susan said, "Susan WAS a good mama," and this was before the boys' fate was discovered.
I thought so too.
That interview was after
I thought the exact same thing, and kept telling my Husband to the end of this video that I wish they would interview her again so she could tell us all again "what a great Mother" this demonic, waste of breath really was!!!!
I was working and the women I worked with at the time they all felt sorry for her I told them she was lying and she killed her children she never cried or showed any remorse she is a horrible woman
I was a young mom as well when this happened, I see what beautiful adults mine have grown to be, and i wonder what those two boys would have grown up to be. She should never see the light of day. What she did is the ultimate betrayal to her family and a nation who prayed everyday for their safe return!😢
IF IT WAS A BLACK MAN THAT KILLED THESE KIDS YOU THINK THEY WOULD'VE GOTTEN A LONGER SENTENCE OR THE DEATH PENALTY? 🤔
Does S. Carolina have the death penalty.
I don’t know about now, but North Carolina had the death penalty back then. I know for a fact that if it was a black man, he would be a on death row or executed by now.
@@apok1980 If it had been any stranger they would get the death penalty because it would of be, well, a stranger. She was a parent. The likelihood of her committing the same crime again is low.
Yes, SC has the death penalty
@@loopthetube SO YOU'RE SAYING YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE HER IN IF SHE GETS PAROLED?🤔😏🤡
She had all those folks fooled
She sure did
She didn't have me fooled.
They don't look hard to fool.
Of course.... she said a black guy did it
I live in Ga, I am 70 years old and I too had two children when this happened and now I am a grandmother of 4. To this day I have never had anything that has happened to affect me like this case. I cried many tears and prayed many prayers. I say this when just a few years ago I have a friend that was the mother of four children, 3 boys and 1 girl. On one of her son’s sixteenth birthday he was driving his car to school with his brother and sister and mother and pulled in front of a tractor trailer truck killing him, his brother, and his sister. His mother barely survived the accident. It happened right up the road from my home and I pass the field that the car landed every single day. I passed by the accident as I was coming back home from taking my grandchildren to school but did not recognize the SUV but knew it was bad. My town of Thomson was devastated to the max also, BUT this did not affect me in the same way because it was just that an accident!! They were a very Christian family and their mother is the strongest person I will EVER know in my life! But these two babies were drowned alive by their own mother and that I will never get over, never. She was not mentally disturbed she was just selfish and did the unthinkable. She has not received half of what she deserves. Her real punishment will Lu come from God and that I do accept.
I too, live in north ga and had 2 kids at the time, it was traumatic to a lot of people so I do understand what you're talking about. I remember some family members saying they would have gladly taken the boys, it was very sad.
She's not just a horrendous mother but shes the worst person alive and shes exactly where she should be!
RIP precious little boys 💔
I didn't realize they didn't find them for NINE days. They were in the water for NINE days. No parole until she's NINETY. Their dad wanted to see them after they were found but was advised not to. OMG! No mercy.
How stupid could Susan be? Obviously, Tim Findlay wanted NOTHING to do with her whether she had the kids or not. He just used an excuse to get rid of her by saying he didn’t want the children. If he really loved her, he would gladly accept her sons Mike and Alex, no matter what.
I totally agree, and above all else those babies Daddy loved them very much and all she had to do was give them to their Daddy and go to China with 10 men if she wanted. Nobody would have cared!!!!
I was in my 20s then. I thought i remembered hearing that the boys were holding-hands when they were found.?😢
Yes, that was how the story was reported. I was 26 at the time.
@@au_barbyeah I believe that was true I was 12 years old and I remembered it was mentioned in the news I wanted to cry.
Yes. I heard that too. But they were so very young that I believe that they couldn’t have consciously done this especially if they were fighting for their lives under water. This is just speculation on my part, but if that story is true, could she have staged this…if you know what I mean? Those babies were very beautiful. Such a sad thing.
Way to go parole board for not letting this *MONSTER* out 30yrs just isn't enough. Life is what it shall be.
Not only did she murder her children she suckered a whole town she should never be released. She’s dangerous.
I remember all this. I saw it on the news all day long. Like so many, i believed susan. But, after the detectives said why they suspected her. I rewatched her press conferences. Then could see she was lieing. This is the first case i fallowed. That showed me the signs to look for if someone was faking. She acted like she was crying. But there weren't any tears and the sounds of her voice didn't match actions. After her, I've seen this type of behavior many times. A narrassist can't hide their true feeling. Their actions will always betray them.
Underneath SS's fake sadness are smirks - duper's delight. She's despicable and has been "misbehaving" in prison. I hope she isn't granted parole.
22:29 that is exactly how the entire country felt I remember going to school seeing so many angry teachers and students. I even remember seeing a special on Oprah she was interviewing some of the residents of Union and my goodness the women who helped her or were volunteers they were really really mad I have never seen such an angry audience at any talk show ever, it really show that this woman is truly hated and even after 30 years she is still the most hated woman in America.
Those poor little boys suffered a terrible death,all thanks to their mother,and her wickedness.They should be grown men,now,with their own children,friends and careers.She stopped that happening.30 years is nowhere near enough.
NEVER PAROLE HER, AS THE BABIES CANT BE PAROLED FROM THEIR LITTLE COFFIN,
SHE SHOULD HAVE GOT THE DEATH PENALTY, SO SPENDING LIFE IN PRISON, SHE SHOULD CONSIDER HERSELF LUCKY. PLEASE NEVER PAROLE HER OUT.😡😡😡
MOTHER OF TWO GROWN SONS.
That fact that she killed children, her own children are sick. These are agervating circumstances. Therefore, she should never be allowed to walk outside of a prison ever again.
This is the trial where the Prosecutor showed the jury a video in court of a camera mounted inside of a car sinking into the lake. He got the exact year model car and strapped the camera where the 2 boys would hv been sitting
Took 6 minutes for the car to sink
Absolute next level lawyering
my God the look of anguish on David's face at the funeral....that man has been through hell.
It's a miracle that he was able to move on anyone else would probably be too distraught and take their own lives. But I've seen a recent interview with him about her being paroled and he stated that would be his worst fear and when you look at its eyes they look pretty red you can tell he was crying that was the face of a very broken man.
He said at the Parole hearing that Susan came pretty close to making him take his own life because of the grief.
The only difference between her and Diane Downs is Diane Downs literally changes her story every parole hearing and this whole thing she's getting out the first time
Shoes in Bloomington on a black guy Diane blamed it on the bushy hair stranger I mean these people absolutely ridiculous
Thank God and Diane's case the prosecutor adopted two beautiful children the third child she had finally found her way in life I mean it's just insane
Thank God David was able to find a wife and have beautiful children with her and find happiness in life and I'm so sorry he even has to think this monster is going to be on the street
Even holding my 1 year old daughter. My 1st born when this was aired in 1994 I knew she was guilty. She shed not one single tear. Nothing but a show of crocodile tears. Her husband was already in the process of filing for divorce.
I hope and pray to God . That they will not release this evil woman.
Youre supposed to love your kids not kill them,let say a black man did do it he would never ever been elgiible for parole,he wouldve done life without or death,so we find out the mom did it so she gets 15 years per child WTF
Just like the Farrah Fawcett movie about the mom who shot her kids
Diane Downs
Small Sacrifices
There are many similarities between the Susan Smith and Diane Downs cases. Diane is up for parole every 10 years. She has been denied each time. May Susan Smith be denied parole as well.
@23:57 FUNNY HOW LYING ON 2 BLACK MEN SHOULD BE PUT ASIDE BUT WE SHOULD CONCENTRATE ON THE MURDERER ONLY.😏
WHY on earth do y’all coloreds come to this comment section and ONLY make comments about being “offended” about that monster mom who blamed a fake black man who didn’t exist over the murders of two precious baby boys? What’s wrong with you people? And y’all want us to feel sorry for y’all? NO WAY! And stop playing the perpetual “victim” in evey way! You aren’t! Not even close! Be lucky you live in the greatest Country in the world that our White Founding fathers created and gave yall citizenship and opportunities in. And be grateful to my white ancestors who fought in every American war, but over 10 of my ancestor white men who fought in the civil war losing life and limb to free y’all bc y’all could not do it yourselves like always!!!
Right. She can’t relate.
I couldn't belive she said that! This also reminds me of the movie Rosewood!
Years later a van came to see the lake, their van rolled in and 3 adults and 4 kids died....sightseers
Ya, that's right, I forgot about that. So tragic.
Wow really???!!!
@@illseeyouinmars9630 yes and that why the state ripped up that very boat ramp and ripped off that whole area so nobody could ever drive on it again bc it’s a large slope.
Menendez bros and susan smith are still killers.... They just aged
Exactly
Not comparable. The Menendez brothers killed their parents after years of abuse; their father has been outed as a predator. Susan Smith killed her innocent babies over a man.
WONDER WHY SHE CHOSE TO LIE & SAY A BLACK MAN DID IT?🤔
South Carolina
You really going to say that
Tradition
It's the culture
@@laurahoward5426 lol ok yeah us Carolinians are soooo mean and rac*st like that huh? NO! Btw, why are you and all the black people just soooo mad about her blaming a fake black man who never existed over the mur*ers of two precious, innocent baby boys? That is what’s truly disgusting with you people! Y’all are all about yourselves and what “offends” you. Ridiculous! And btw I’m proud to be a Southerner!
Watching Court TV , she was denied parole but prosecutor in her case stated how she laughed in court as a reenactment of the car sinking in the lake to show how long it too , without jury presence but cried during the video when jurors were present
She's heartless and demonic!!!!
Nobody should ever even entertain the thought of this monster getting out!!!
Susan Smith was an evil creature in the making. Taking the lives of two babies was unforgivable but it got her where she needs to be. She had the soul of a serial killer and I guarantee if she got away with the murder of the boys, her husband would have been next...then it would have been anybody else who got in her way of whatever she wanted. Shes that tye of woman who would murder as long as she got away with it. I dont think Susan realizes there's not much of a life for her in the free world as I cant imagine any community in the country who would welcome her..and living a reclusive life doesnt sound like something Susan would be happy with. It would only lead to trouble.
To murder your 2 young children watching them die while strapped into their car seats is an especially evil person who is not even human to do something so cruel then blame a black man is so repulsive 🤮 I am so glad that if she does get parole that everyone knows what she did and who she is, hopefully she has been through menopause by now and won’t be able to have any more children 😢
Excellent work and compilation , Thank You.
She didn't give them a chance so she should never have the chance to get out. Them poor babies and David ur in my prayers 🙏🙏🙏
I was 14 when it this happened. I knew she was lying when she said a black man” I said “ ahh thee old scary back man.” I knew she was lying right then and there.
Those poor little boys probably panicked when they saw the water coming into the car. There’s a special place in hell for evil mothers who kill children
Amen.
When you really think about it,the truth was worser than the lie, so so sad 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
For me, it was her verbiage that told me she did it. By her saying things like, “you boys, stay strong, and your mama and daddy love you,” told me something was off. She was just looking for things to say that would sound like she was loving. But telling a three-year-old and a 14 month old to stay strong didn’t sound right. It’s not like they would understand that. It wasn’t logical for her to say these things.
May she rott in prison after what dhe did! Rip boys ❤❤
I was living in Bali, and remember being glued to CNN as this unfolded, the only English speaking news channel at the time.
Please, never release her
I will never understand why any mother would do this🤦♀️
Then have the nerve to want to be free.
@ exactly
She did not have to do them babies like she did
No! She saw no other way!
Why were people who were not residents of the area going to see the spot where the children drowned? And the couple from Alaska who came to video seemed ghoulish. Wondering if they vacation at crime scenes.
7 people died sightseeing
People still go there, and take selfies.
A bunch of vultures.
30 years and remember like yesterday and just knew she was lying but to have done that just wow always will be inconceivable and that poor Dad who would have just taken them I hope she never gets out
I think she should be release in to black neighbor hood with no way out
What a perfidious woman🤨, it is an insult to the entire society if they let her go free, after committing such an atrocity with her two children, why are they going to let her go free?🤔 I lived in the USA in the year(right now I live in Europe) that this case occurred and the outcome when the truth was discovered was devastating, she did all of that for one man's love,what a BS...💩💩💩
Thank you. Watching from Alaska. 🤔
💔
No Parole.
⚖️
There was one detective that was on this case that saw right through her crap from day one and never believed a black man did it at all you people on here can cool it about the black people getting harassed because not that many were I can assure you
If it was one black person , that’s one too many!!!
Yea, right! You can't assure anyone of anything!!! You have absolutely no clue of what black men went through during that time-
She's so fake!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬
She’s nuts ! And evil
That lady who doesn’t know the family to say “We are in mourning too.” Needs a reality check.
Lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's called empathy
Horrible! Those poor kids and their fathers life was changed forever. So sad.❤️🙏🏼
It was not two black man she claimed she said it was one
Pure evil
As an American male I sure miss this time when females were all so Innocent, pure and wholesome. I sure miss the good ol days
As a Utopian female I sure miss the time when snakes were all so tame, venomless and sweethearts. I sure miss the good ole days. 😢
Yeah, 20000 years ago
Hey now, us Southern women which most of us are classy ladies, raised up very conservative in the Bible Belt and very traditional are the only ones left. Trust me, us southern women here in Carolina are absolutely not feminists and are very traditional ladies. But those northerner women are NUTS!
@@tinydancer867 I believe you
That was one of the hardest things I have ever watched on television. I remember this trial 30 years ago. I couldn’t believe how any kind of mother, would kill their own children? There wasn’t any mention of mental health 30 years ago. Now to this day, it is still very underrated. I do believe she was and still is mentally ill. Otherwise how could their own mother could kill their own children?
I remember this like yesterday, was talking to my Mother on the phone when they showed her fake crying for her boys… we both said at the same time “SHES LYING”, and we were so right. I hope she stays in prison!
My mother said the same thing after she watched Susan pleading for the children's return. She said Susan either did something to them or she knows where they are, before Susan admitted what she did
This upset everyone that heard of it, beautiful children
