Episode description

Thirty years after Susan Smith drowned her two young sons, she was denied parole by the South Carolina parole board. Despite expressing remorse and claiming she was in a troubled state of mind, her ex-husband and the prosecutor argued against her release, emphasizing the devastating impact of her actions on her family and the community. Smith's defense argued for her parole based on her mental health and lack of prior criminal history. However, the board ultimately decided to keep her incarcerated, denying her release after 30 years in prison.
