Susan Smith, in prison for the cold-blooded 1994 murders of her two young sons, believes that she blew her chances at being paroled next month after she was convicted of trying to cash in on her infamy .
“She’s inconsolable,” a relative told the Post. “She was so close to getting out, and it seems to be collapsing in front of her very eyes. She has derailed it herself. She’s not happy at all.”
“She knows it’s now very unlikely she’s going to get out,” the relative said. “This is a fresh disciplinary action, a month before her parole hearing. The parole board 100% pays attention to these things. This is really bad.”
Smith, who is serving a life sentence, was caught agreeing to give a documentary filmmaker contact information for friends, family and victims, including her ex-husband, according to the South Carolina Department of Corrections.
In return, the filmmaker deposited money into Smith’s commissary account, authorities said.
