Thirty years after being convicted for drowning her two toddler sons, Susan Smith appeared before a parole board in South Carolina seeking early release. During the hearing, Smith expressed remorse for her actions, acknowledging the pain she caused and expressing a desire to take back what she had done. Her attorney cited mental health issues, including postpartum depression, as contributing factors to the tragic event.
Smith's ex-husband, David Smith, also attended the hearing, advocating for his sons and urging the board to deny her parole. He emphasized that her actions were intentional and not a tragic mistake, pleading for justice for their children.
