I thought we had a thread on this, then I remembered that we probably talked about it on the other place during the outage.

Susan Smith's ex-husband, David Smith, was emotional as he asked the board to deny parole.

"This wasn't a tragic mistake. ... She purposely meant to end their life," he said, adding, "I've never felt any remorse from her for it."

"She came pretty close to causing me to end my life because of the grief that she brought upon me," David Smith said.

So far his ex-wife has served "15 years per child," he said. "It's just not enough."

She is eligible for a parole hearing every two years beginning at the 30-year mark.

David Smith told the parole board Wednesday, "I will be here every two years going forward to ensure that their death doesn't go in vain."


Susan Smith has faced disciplinary action several times in prison, including for sexual encounters with corrections officers, drug possession and for giving contact information for family and her ex-husband to a documentary producer.

Susan Smith's attorney, Tommy Thomas, told the parole board this case is about "the dangers of untreated mental health." He said Susan Smith had undiagnosed depression after her second son was born.

Thomas highlighted that she has no prior criminal history, and he said if she's paroled, she'd live with her brother.

Undiagnosed depression? It's obvious she killed her kids because she was having an affair with someone who didn't want kids. Selfishness is what it's called.

This is great news. She should never be released. She literally watched as that car went into the lake with those little boys in there. Then, she lied and said it was a black man who did it. Fu*ck her.
