I watched this tragedy on television from California, and I still remember the photographs of those little boys. I’m so glad for everyone, including the community, that this woman will remain in prison.
In South Carolina, at least at the time of the crime, there was no true life-without-parole sentence, only the death penalty or life with the possibility of parole after thirty years. Had she been sentenced to death and then that was overturned, she might have had it commuted to life without parole. I only know this because I read the book written by the father of her two victims. He specifically stated this was why he wanted her sentenced to death.
Susan Smith killed her two boys so a paramour would want her. He didn't want children. What she did was calculatedly murder two innocent little boys. She should never be allowed to be free again. She should have been convicted of two 1st-degree murder charges with no parole. I would hope she could find salvation and give of her self to younger inmates. Her voice is the same as 30 years ago, I would think terrifying to those boys. They knew her! We didn't know what she was capable of. They did.
She should rot in prison until she rots in hell. That's a special kind of monster to send her own innocent, trusting babies to their deaths for absolutely nothing. Disgusting.
@@Lloydchristmas81I’m not even that religious and I know that has nothing to do with it under the Bible. The only reason she is breathing is because criminals now have rights under humane cowards who keep her safe.
Michael and Alex don’t get parole because their mother murdered them … so she should never be allowed to walk around, free… EVER! Not even in the off chance he’ll freezes over😢💔💔
Snap she went out of her way to blame a black man she didn’t snap she was just thinking about her self I’m not going to judge that’s the Lord my God job yet she should never be able to come home those babies didn’t have a chance
I was a young teen when this case happened! She's an evil monster that should never be allowed out to see the light of day! No parole for children killer's! It's sad how cheap the lives of children are in the US
She should never get out she sent her children to a certain death and puts Union SC on the map for all the wrong reasons. She put so many people through Hell especially her ex- husband who will never be the same again. Now he has to go through all this again in another two years to make sure she stays right were she is.
Had my first child that year and felt so bad for that young Husband. I knew that Woman was lying from the start and you could still see the pain like it was yesterday in her ex husband’s reaction. I think she’s a sociopath.
Im one year younger than this evil vile person and i clearly remember how she acted so sad and played thr victim and tried to blame it on a black person. The racism & hate that still exists in South Carolina and most of the states bordering SC is mind boggling. Hell no she shouldnt be granted parole not now, not in 2026, not EVER. in this instance, life ahould be life as in she should spend the rest of her natural life locked up for the pre meditated murders of her two sons and then going on national news to lie about how a black guy did it & acted all devastated. Its ridiculous they would even deliberate on setting her free again.
She has spent 30 years in prison. She has done nothing. She has taken a few courses, sure. But that's BS. She could have completed her Bachelors, and Masters and PhD. Shes done nothing but break the rules. Her boys had 6 minutes of torture drowning.😢
It looks like she was showing remorse to me. Aside from the childhood sexual abuse, I also suspect the reason she wanted to kill herself was an abusive husband. But, lack of remorse should not be the sole reason for not being released. The likelihood of a repeat in the actions of the offender should be the main criteria, and given that her children are now gone, it's not likely to happen again.
Lets also not forget that she also tried to frame a black guy for the murder

That part
She wasn't cut out to be a criminal, I guess. 🤬🤬😈

Why would she even have the opportunity of parole?
Exactly

Thank the good Lord she was denied parole. Life should mean life!
Keep her behind bars!!! She didn't give her beautiful babies a chance to live . Let her continue to Rot!!!
She stood and watched the car slowly sink into the lake. She heard her boys screaming for her. She needs to stay right where she is.
Anybody who killed kids don't ever need to be released from prison!
She should never see the outside again.
She could have easily given those boys to their father

Wow that was 30 years ago
Seems like yesterday
She shouldn’t even be allowed to be up before the board
She should never get out and putting the family through trauma every couple years is post traumatic. Shame on the system it fails the victims .
If you take the life of a child then you should never see the light of day.
She should rot in prison until she rots in hell. That's a special kind of monster to send her own innocent, trusting babies to their deaths for absolutely nothing. Disgusting.
She needs to spend the rest of her life rotting in prison. Change or not, those kids are gone by her deliberate actions. Period!!
I haven't a shred of pity for that monster.
She murdered her children. She doesn't even deserve to breathe air.
Seems God disagrees
@@Lloydchristmas81for now.
You don’t deserve it either

If she was really sorry she would stop fighting for freedom
Do you expect anything less from a narcissist ?
If they let her out it would be a tragedy- and so disrespectful to the memory of those kids!

I believe there is a special place in hell for those who kill their children.
I was a young teen when this case happened!

No parole for children killer's!

Gray hair ?
DYE in prison.
She should never be released
I think she should serve another 20 years to make it 50 years in prison 25 years for each child that she killed!
She should never see another free day ever
GOOD GOOD GOOD 🎉...
Those innocent boys would’ve been in their 30’s by now. Their mother doesn’t deserve to get a parole.
KEEP HER IN!
Generally speaking a human life used to be worth 30 years..
I just don’t understand how she even had the option of parole in the first place. Lock her up and throw away the key!
Had my first child that year and felt so bad for that young Husband.
I knew that Woman was lying from the start and you could still see the pain like it was yesterday in her ex husband’s reaction.
I think she’s a sociopath.
All these stories
Your children come first! No man is worth it she is a coward liar!! She’ll never get out. 😡
Those two little guys are in Heaven In the house of God.

I hope the father is doing ok…😢
She has spent 30 years in prison. She has done nothing. She has taken a few courses, sure. But that's BS. She could have completed her Bachelors, and Masters and PhD.
Shes done nothing but break the rules.
Her boys had 6 minutes of torture drowning.😢
Her sons are adults now.
Her preacher and Jesus are just as guilty. Horrific
Union laws
Let the without sin cast the 1st stone
Should never get out……
I hope she rot in there.Her lies could have gotten an innocent Black man killed.
This probably inspired that terrible movie Freedomland
Maybe trump will give her a pardon
30 yrs later what news now
No sympathy
Free Susan Smith, she deserves a second chance.
U clearly voted for biden and camel toe

Well, what can one say...if she gets out, I am sure that she will be dealt with in a permanent manner!
One would think that would have happened in prison
This journalist wasnt even born when this crime happened
