- Child murderer Susan Smith threw a ‘tantrum’ in her cell after board rejected her plea for parole (newsbreak.com)
Susan Smith, convicted for drowning her two young sons in 1994, has been denied parole.
Smith initially lied about being carjacked by a Black man, leading to a police search in Black neighborhoods. She later confessed and was sentenced to life imprisonment.
At her recent parole hearing, Smith expressed remorse and sought forgiveness. However, the parole board rejected her request.
An eyewitness reported that Smith threw a tantrum in her cell after the hearing, displaying anger and agitation. Other inmates reportedly found her denial amusing, believing she was more concerned about herself than her sons.
Smith will be eligible for parole every two years, despite her ex-husband’s belief that she should never be released.
