Susan Smith’s recent parole hearing left many skeptical of her sincerity. Former prison guard Felicia Mungo witnessed Smith’s emotional plea but believes it was insincere.
Mungo, who supervised Smith’s suicide watch during her murder trial, remembers her as remorseful. However, she questions Smith’s genuine regret, citing her lack of remorse for past racist behavior.
Smith’s infamous claim of being carjacked by a Black man during the investigation endangered Black men in the area, according to Mungo.
Another former prison guard, Alfred Rowe, who was fired and convicted for having a sexual relationship with Smith, also doubts her sincerity.
Smith’s ex-husband, David, strongly opposed her parole. Mungo believes Smith may eventually be released but needs to show true remorse for all her actions.
