I hope the husband has gotten psychological helps through this.

Some ppl have a hard time speaking about such a terrible situation but she comes across so insincere. Interesting none of the prison staff spoke on her behalf.

[@deannaestes1870]

[@kindness12345]

She cried almost the same way 30 years ago! Not one time did she own up what she did to her babies today. She’s in the place she needs to remain at. It’s terrible for David, every 2 years he needs to go to the parole board?! What an injustice there. My thoughts and prayers for him and his family.

[@TravelinRosy2025]

I believed dave smith more then Susan smith n yes she cried like 30 yrs ago same I thought same not believable

[@tamararutland-mills9530]

What an awful parole law ~ every two years the fear will be building up in the victims’ families. They will never really have closure. I come from Florida, where life means life without the possibility of parole.

[@kindness12345]

@ my thoughts as well, they’ll never really find closure having to be there every 2 years. Awful!

[@angelarivas7579]

I felt so bad for him it is not fair that he has to go throw that every 2 years. They should lock her up forever,

[@cvmitchell9368]

I remember when this happened. She strapped children that she carried in her body into their seats and backed her vehicle into water and let them drown. She was on television begging for their return, blamed a black man and had people looking for these children. It was reported on the news her older son appeared to have tried to get his brother out of his seat. I remember this CLEARLY. Releasing her would be a travesty.

[@karenhummel49]

I can't get that picture out of my mind of those two innocent babies strapped in their car seats and the car plunging into the water, sinking, the fear and confusion and pain they felt as the water suffocated them. She should never get out. Life and no parole every two years. Rest in Peace Michael and Alex 🙏🕯🕯🙏⚖️⚖️

[@tamararutland-mills9530]

It was an awful murder. Her stupid lawyer seems to care mostly about how his presentation is coming along. He evaluates it every so often Lol

[@vernareed2692]

​@@tamararutland-mills9530yes! And the lawyer was sure to belabor the point about SS and her boyfriend lover she had and murdered her boys for,the lawyer emphasized she didn't do it for wanting the boyfriend like everyone was saying!! Ridiculous!! It was perfectly clear that's why she did it!!

[@KatSpade1018]

I feel the same way, Karen. All I can think about is them helplessly strapped in their car seats seeing their mother outside the window as the car rolls into the water. Sitting buoyant for 6 long min as it filled with the cold water and those terrified confused little boys wondering what's going on, where's Mama, we're getting wet and the water is getting deeper. Then what they experienced once the car was submerged. It's unfathomable. I remember the day she and David were on the news pleading to the media. I was 17 yrs old and I thought she doesn't behave like I thought a mother would behave if a stranger just kidnapped their child. I was picturing someone hysterically crying, inconsolable, panicked, falling to their knees in grief and worry. She was nothing like that. She was to calm, to coherent. It's been burned in my mind all these years because she didn't act right. The only mother I had ever heard of, at that time, that had taken their children's lives was Diane Downs. I was appalled at how a mother could do something so horrific for the attention of a man. It was the worst thing I had ever heard. Then here comes Susan. Doing the same horrific crime for the same damn reason, a man that doesn't wasn't children. Those two women haunted me because Mamas wouldn't do that to their babies. 30 yrs later, all of it comes flooding back. Why didn't she leave. Be a deadbeat mother, forget about them and run off with her lover. At least David would have gotten to raise his children and they would have gotten to live their lives. It would have been selfish and disgusting but it's better than being a baby killer. I don't even live in that state and this case has affected me all these years. I'm so glad the parole board did the right thing. David suffers tremendously all these years later, he wears it in his face. He's been destroyed. His pain is as raw as it was 30 yrs ago. As for her, I don't know what the hell she kept wiping at with that Kleenex cause there wasn't a wet spot anywhere on her face or leaking from her eyes. She's a coldhearted monster and I hope she dies behind bars. This poor father breaks my heart. He deserves proper justice.

[@melissas9245]

@@kerrolinad3020 not to mention apparently she was hyper sexual in prison. She talks about immature mistakes. She was in her mid twenties by the time she was convicted. She was too old to not know better. She has no ability to have remorse so she is a sociopath. You can’t fix someone without a conscience. Anyone having contact with her are able to be manipulated. It’s obvious she is using “mental health” as a crutch. You have a captive audience with Susan and she hasn’t changed one bit in 30 years. Her inability to be held accountable for her actions shows in this video.

[@itisjustsheila]

Her lawyer did his job trelling her to show remorse with her crying and to admit guilt two factors all parole boards look for but it did not over ride the many people who stood for David and his sons She did the same crying number and even sounds the same as she back when she claimed she was car jacked and her sons were in the car And Mr whats his name ( the minister ) did not help any by suggesting the guards used her for their pleasure,,,,still lying I assume No mistake was made by the decision of this panel imo

[@tamararutland-mills9530]

Her lawyer’s opening statement pretty well did her in. NO! This is not all about Susan. Everything has always been about Susan. This is ALSO Michael and Alexander’s special day. Their lives were stolen by the one they loved with all of their little hearts. It was the ultimate ultimate most complete betrayal of their love that there ever can be.

It's intriguing that one who is rightfully imprisoned for two deaths, yet the rich and powerful can be free to reign over America. The ramifications, the collateral damage from this woman's actions linger long and the damage is unfathomable. Your American (SCOTUS) court system is corrupted by political power, yet ordinary people are subject to a seemingly appropriate justice system. It's a shame that America's justice system falls mainly on the not so rich.. What's happened to the America where civil rights have no longer any sway?

And her lawyer just tried to dismiss this not a minute after I typed it. Why even mention it if it wasn't true? Apprently she was a social climber - and What was reported at the time was that the young man was one of means and did not want a ready-made family - so she took care of that.

I was watching this live in my living room & everything that took place. I remember Susan Smith telling police that a black man took her car with her babies in it. I remember how the young black men were treated by some police officers trying to find the perpetrator so they could locate those two angels. It damn near started a race war. She has the same manipulative personality she had 30 years ago. She can't change she is who she is & it's appalling that Life doesn't mean Natural Life! David has suffered the most & he shouldn't have to deal with her every two years when she's up for parole. David you're a strong good man & you're boys are so proud of their Dad. I'm so happy that you found love again & have a beautiful family. I have never forgotten about you or Michael & Alex. Susan likely is a narcissist with a personality disorder that Drs say is untreatable. Seeing her cry & talk today brought me back to that horrific day. She hasn't changed & she only helps those in prison who have something Susan wants. She's a self serving manipulative narcissist who isn't sorry for anyone but herself! She's a child killer & always will be remembered for that. Tommy Pope looks great we're all a few decades older but he did such a great job thirty years ago & he nailed it again today. He knows exactly who Susan Smith is & what harm she'd put Michael through if she was ever released on parole.

I went to high school with Susan --and i was in school with her brother in law, David's brother from elementary school. This woman did damage to the whole community in so many ways. In high school, she was always one of the girls that always was a winner even if she had to make someone feel bad while doing so. Basically, she was "better than everyone else" at everything. And she wasnt really a nice person. That's what i know. My dad was in the recovery effort and he will never be able to forget what he saw. The baby had pulled his hair out in terror and his older brother had grabbed the rolled down window clinging to it.

Parole, really? Where’s the death penalty? We could stop this kind of horrific crime very easily, but so many do not have moral clarity.

[@rosasfamily241]

I hope she never gets out

[@gigitonsvajv]

I watched about 30 seconds of her speaking and she’s a terrible actress. She is so fake. Big no for being paroled.

[@kcdavids3033]

I think she is very realistic as far as crying for herself. This woman fills me with such anger. What she did is unforgivable.

[@rasberryfields2132]

S. Smith's attorney had a job to do---I couldn't listen to him because of his "umms". His speech/her speech didn't convince me that she should be granted parole. It sounded the same as 30 years ago. Such a horrific crime. Prayers for David & his family.😢

[@zzhoundzz8403]

She did not seek help. She did not allow the father to raise them. The children were not allowed to grow up & live their lives. Throw away the key to her ever having freedom.

[@mamabear1324]

This would never be me, but if it was I would have given the most powerful statement and shown the most remorse that I could.

[@psfanboy79]

DENIED

[@snickers8851]

I don't think she has any remorse whatsoever. That car floated for SIX. WHOLE. MINUTES before it sank. She had plenty of time to change her mind and save her babies. But she didn't, and lied to the police for over a week. She's just as heartless now as she was 30 years ago and I hope she spends the rest of her miserable life in prison.

[@Pooch1968]

I remember this like it was yesterday. Mt own son was just 6 months old when this happened. We were praying for her boys safe return. She’s WICKED!

[@honeyowen3163]

"What are the most important things you've learned while incarcerated"? "That forgiveness and love are important". Wow isn't it great that she forgives umm who exactly? OH WAIT it's us who are supposed to forgive her I guess of course, how could I be so stupid.

[@alymayz928]

She totally sabotaged herself with speaking. Using a manipulation tool right off the bat for crying. Immature answers like she didnt think or plan any of her arguement. She needs prison for another 30 years to really think about what she did and figure out why shes in there.

[@karent1084]

This lawyer says "Ummm" wat too much. I'm already annoyed.

[@TravelinRosy2025]

Good she got denied

[@qiuwbr091]

This person should never be paroled. NOT EVER.

[@Tracy308]

DAVID SMITH WAS MY CLASSMATE, ❤

[@TheRhonda1974]

What a good man Mr Smith is. I am so glad he had to enjoy two more children, but nothing can replacethe two boys. 🙏rip Mr. Smith has a beautiful wife and loving family

[@oxcolette]

I would not trust her with my dogs or cats.

[@scarredcitizen2023]

My exact thoughts👆

[@pattirolfe5792]

How could you leave me Daddy? She says about her Dad. Omg What about How could you get rid of us Mommy?

[@urszulap7197]

Love ❤️ to The Boys, Their Dad and his Family and supporters. Love ❤️ from Poland 🇵🇱 ❤

[@irmagarcia8266]

I have more respect for a woman who abandons her children like my sis n law for whatever reason than for those who kills for a selfish cause wiping her children, wedding dress n photos! Whoever gave the possibility of parole is just as insane… SUSAN gave up the right too freedom the day she killed her boys period 😢 May GOD forgive you CAUSE a human 😢can’t comprehend this memory.

[@TCTrueCrimeSages]

Noted instantly, when they asked her about her jail infractions it was "Well that wasn't really my fault." She's ASPD and she killed her own children. That woman is NEVER safe to let out of prison. The end.

[@conniecook8464]

My two sons were the same age as hers at the time. Devastatingly unbelievable she could do that.

[@TwistedSister1234]

Mine too. I think of all the years my adult sons have lived on this earth compared with all the years those toddlers missed out on because their self-obsessed, depraved mother stole their future. Thinking about it, she's probably safer if she stays in jail.

[@yoncbwl2738]

If this attorney says, "Um" or "Uh" ONE MORE TIME... Have mercy! They have classes to help you fix that!!!

[@KitchenTableCrime]

Excellent result.

[@melissaselvig8720]

The rest of that family is going to be Going thru Hell for the rest of their lives trying to keep her locked up at Every Review board meeting, its Not Fair to that poor father, ect, It's despicable! Throw away the key and let that family rest!
