That was so emotional 😭 so glad they didn’t let her out. I feel so bad for David Smith and everyone else who will have to fight her release every two years from now on
They’re right. If it had been a black man or if had been David who killed them, they would get the death penalty. She should have gotten the death penalty.
That’s what I’m saying. It might bother me that she just didn’t say someone kidnapped her kids but for her to say a black man stole her car. It’s like why does my people are people have to be racially subjected to her heinous crime and I’m not even from that time but I can imagine back in that time like you had to walk on glass like you had to be on your peas and cues as a black man because of what she did. And I’m not a mother, but I have PCOS and I dream I dream of being a mother I dream of having kids of having children call my own and I haven’t had that yet, but I want it. So bad and for her to just throw that away like it was nothing for a man is very heartbreaking.
She’ll get out in a box. The people that smoke for her today, sickens me. She killed those innocent babies in such a horrific way so wtf would you ask for her to get a “chance” when she didn’t give them that.
Susan not only stole their little boys lives, she stole the little boys memory from their father and he hardly has any of that to comfort him now She is evil to the core
I remember watching this in real time he was, and still is a good man. All she had to do was leave, she could've left the boys with him, there was no reason for any of this.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's the fact that Susan is in most of his memories of the boys and that's why he doesn't remember them. She doesn't seem to be in the ones that he can recall.
I am just sooooo thankful a black man did not unjustly pay for this. I think Emmitt Till, and so many other brothas who have paid for stuff they did not do, especially concerning white accusations. Yes, I said it.
I remember when the news broke. I also remember looking at my husband and saying " she is lying, any mother would give her life to save her children". She should never be released. God give comfort to David🙏
I remember thinking the same thing, I felt guilty for thinking that she did it - then we found out that she did! And blamed it on a black man too! WTH!! Those precious boys were pulled out of the lake holding hands in their car seats, they were the same exact age of my two babies at the time. It made me so terribly sad. I never forgot that case.
I couldn’t make sense of her leaving the kids. At the time, my boys were very close in age to hers so it was especially difficult for me. But I always thought she acted strange in the interviews.
I am now 65 and remember it well. When I seen her first interview it was obvious she was the monster. Batting her eyes and fake tears ! May God continue to Bless you David and family. 🙏
I remember this story. Watched it live on the news. I live in Canada and I am 53. I gave birth to my first son Oct 2024, weeks before this news broke. I was in shock when I found out she was the perpetrator. Especially being a female of colour it was not a good feeling her lying on my race.
Nope. She intended to unalive her whole life with her husband and left the pictures and dress in the car trunk in her way of ending life with husband and sons for the man she had the affair with
Of course she never intended to kill herself. If she did, how is it she is still living and those poor babies are gone? I hope she never gets parole. David Smith is serving a life sentence, only fair that she does too.
I have Black male friends who were so afraid to go anywhere after this happened. How monsters like this get to have children and other people don’t is hard to understand.
Well, I guess so. The same thing happened in Boston in 1989 when Charles Stuart shot and killed his pregnant wife and blamed in on an African American car-jacker. The month's long investigation resulted in widespread "stop & frisk" actions by police against African American men. I believe laws were instituted because of what police did to make it illegal to perform such injustices against any members of the community. Charles Stuart jumped off a bridge to his death before he could be arrested for the crime.
Amen. They should be enjoying a happy life. So sad when a "mother" doesn't act like a mom. I'm adopted, and I was 27 when she m*rdered her children. I watched my mom cry REAL TEARS while watching Susan on the news. Like most of the world, my mom took what Susan did personally.
Those boys were absolutely beautiful and so precious. To this day I just cannot understand how she did that to her babies. It is horrifying and suffocating for the memories to come back of them pulling that car from the water. That feeling of my breath being taken away, at the thought of what those poor little boys suffered in that car as it filled with water. Being strapped in and not being able to escape. It just make me so sick. It's horrific to think about that. And that woman has not even a drop of remorse, or horror at what she did to them. She never should be released from prison. Not ever! Just like Michael and Alex had no way to escape from that car. She should never be able to escape her punishment. It seems she is not capable of any form of remorse, or even acknowledgement of what those boys suffered at her doing. I wonder if the thought has ever even come in her mind, of Michael clawing trying to get out of that car? He tried to get unstrapped. And I am positive what was in his little mind was trying to help his Brother. It just makes ya sick thinking about that. She has never once even acknowledged any of that. It's been 30 years since she mercilessly took the lives of those precious boys. And in 30 years, she has not come to have any emotion for her crime. She will never get there. If it hasn't come in 30 years, it will never come. And still using her own sexuality to get her way inside that prison. Still manipulating and conning ppl. That's just who she is. She is a broken person, and she has been broken since she was very young. There's no fixing that. And the issues she has are such that she will forever be a threat to society. She doesn't have a conscience. And she knows what is right and what is wrong, but she doesn't care. That can never be rehabilitated ever. It's just awful that those little boys had to be the ones who lost their lives, because their Mother was not capable of a natural Mother/Child bond. They deserved so much better. I will always keep David in my prayers. His Daughter sure is special. Such a well spoken, intelligent girl. I feel her speaking at the parole hearing was very profound for the parole board to hear. It showed how even after 30 years, this horrible loss of these little boy's lives, still has a lasting ripple effect. Watching this unfold on tv, from all around the world, put an everlasting mark on ppl's hearts and souls. I know I will never forget it. It was a true loss of innocence for our whole Country. God Bless David and his entire family, and what's left of Susan's family. She is where she belongs. 😢🙏🙏🙏🙏
Excellent documentary. Only 15 years a child. No, she’s not reformed. Her disciplinary record and actions show this. She should never be allowed out. God bless you David Smith, especially today 11-20-24.
I agree. Susan Smith is seriously ill, but not insane. Something in her is just dark, evil. To her, it’s normal. She still hasn’t taken responsibility for her actions to this day. Whether a result of abuse or something else, her sense of judgment and conscience is completely off. She’s a danger to society and to herself to this day. She needs to remain under supervision for the rest of her life.
@@mariekatherine5238 well no-that’s not true- they would not make her eligible for parole at all if she were a danger to society. She definitely needs to be punished for the rest of her life, though -there’s no way she deserves parole.!!
Andrea Yates was ill. Susan Smith is just evil. A personality disorder is not the same as a mental illness. Did y’all remember the part in the documentary where Susan had packed her wedding dress and her wedding album into the trunk of the car she strapped her children into It was symbolic what she was doing, she had planned for that card and never be found at the bottom of that lake
Amen!! I knew something stunk. Told my family you'd find my body with flesh under my fingernails and skid marks on my lifeless body if somebody tried that.
I had a client who was carjacked with her child. She managed to get the toddler onto her lap, and when he pulled off into a neighborhood to possibly assault her, she fled carrying her child. He pistol whipped her, but a neighbor came out, and he fled.
Just think how much time & how much money it costed for this community, state, etc. Then think about those trusting babies breathing in that lake water. Think about the volunteers who gave up their time and their money. Susan Smith should never be released.
Ma’am, I don’t mean to sound like a smart ass, but the past tense of cost is just cost. And Susan‘s trial did cost the county a lot of money, season Smith has cost and continues to cost so much in terms of pain, and psychological trauma as well as money
I’m so glad she didn’t get out. She had so many chances to come to her senses and save her kids but she didn’t. Also she has a disciplinary file 6 inches thick from her time in prison. She’s had multiple affairs with guards. She’s been caught with drugs, done illegal interviews, etc. No way in hell she should get parole.
@@lucienelson Diane was more hurt when she bumped the arm she shot herself with when she was re-enacting, struggling w/the so-called car-jacker for police. She even laughed about it. Ever notice how these killers always manage to crack a smile because their mask falls. (Diane Downs, Susan Smith, Darlene Routier, etc).
Keep her in prison until she reaches 83. Those poor little boys and the families they would’ve had. Bless David on his continued walk I can’t imagine what pain he endures. They were so young he hardly has any precious memories of them. So sad.
At her hearing today, she didn’t take accountability, nor apologize for being a racist, she & her lawyer ad nothing but excuses! Keep her there, she’s supposedly doing so good in prison, keep her in her element!!!!! Justice came again for #MichaelNAlex
@@LoveMyDaisyGirl911 why would she say a black man just because? And yes that’s racist to blame and put many black men lives in danger over a lie. Ex. Emmitt Til.
@@Tha543boyyou people know the name of ET but do you know any names of racist black people that killed white people. Lady that stabbed the white baby in the parking lot? Know her name? How about the black kids that beat that white mentality challenged person to near death as they yelled racist slurs. Know their names? We could go on and on. Honestly I don’t know names. The stories are shown for a brief moment and then never aired again. You don’t see how they push a narrative?
I was 6 years old when this happened, not much older than the oldest boy, and I remember this. I live in western NC, a few hours from Union County. It's such a sad story. 30 years later, and we will never forget.
I was 12 and I remember that week of watching the news and my parents reaction when her arrest was announced. It had never occurred to me before then that a mother would drown her children. I knew about child abuse, I’m sure deep down. I must’ve known that some parents killed their children before, but it feels like Susan Smith was the one that ripped the wool out from over my eyes. I had never heard of a mother doing that to her children
She is NOT in jail, and was never sentenced to jail. There is NO such thing as being sentenced to jail for years or murder, and NO such thing as parole from jail. Jail us not prison.
and as horrible as this case is it could have been even worse situation just think about it some innocent black man could have been murdered for her lies!
@@metsl1870 It's very upsetting to see the faces of those in the African American community who were all victimized by Susan's lies. Susan owes her own brother an apology for having to apologize to the African American community on her behalf.
Yeah I was like 16 when this happened. I was pretty naive and I thought my mom was being really negative by saying that she thought Susan Smith was really behind their disappearance. With that being said, she also thought that Jacob Wetterlings mother was behind his disappearance as well. Which we all know is not at all true.
Im from B.C Canada, and I remember this like it was yesterday, it was all over our news here as well. It was one of the first big true crime cases that caught my attention as a teenager. I really can't believe it's been so long already and that she was actually up for parole. Thank God she was denied. Thinking of David and his family during this time.
This may seem odd, but I just want to give acknowledgment to Matthew Yates who edited this. It was very, very well done. At the end, when the black and white picture of the boys slowly turns to color touched my heart deeply. That has a lot of meaning in the context of this whole horrible situation.
Mayor is nothing unless he has control of the bag. We live in a mostly Hispanic and white town and have a Hispanic mayor but she has NO POWER or control of decisions. Guess who has control and power? I’m sure you can guess.
Wow you just displayed a lack of historical knowledge as big as Texas. My God please look through some websites on black history, white Southern history or something to educate yourself. Her lie could of got a man killed and that's no exaggeration. That was covered thoroughly in this video. The officials were afraid of an old style mob attack. That was said in video. Obviously, the charges of killing the children were most important. Under the prison IMO.
Those boys would be married by now, maybe with their own kids. But no...a selfish mother ended that and had the nerve to blame a black man. I hope she never sees the light of day again.
If her sentence was 30 to life with parole, and now, after 30 years, and parole is denied.....why do they continue with a hearing every 2 years? If parole is denied, that should be the end. Another 2 years will not rehab them, if 30 years didnt!
Because that’s what the law was at the time she was sentenced. We don’t have to agree or even like it but that’s just the way it is. If it was my choice she’d be UNDER THE PRISON!!
My Texas family was horrified and shocked as these boys were almost exactly the age of ours. I assured all that my hubs and I agreed - no matter what - either of us could walk away with no questions asked if we'd simply LEAVE. We all agreed to support each other if that unthinkable time happened but that the MOST unthinkable would be harm coming to our precious boys. Michael and Alex accomplished much in their deaths. They're experiencing eternal life and joy and their situation caused many, many families to pause to reflect on what really matters.
Ummm the step father admitted in court that he s..xually molested her as a child, groomed her, and continued a relationship with her while she was married??!!? Did he go to jail too??!!
why does she wants to come out? what does she want to live for, she should pray for forgiveness instead of asking for release, she betrayed the two boys.
@@youwish2022Because it would be considered rape. As a prisoner she cannot give consent. He was in a position of authority and used that position to get sex. Whether she agreed or not its still rape. Thats why.
Still remember it like it was yesterday...Her ex husband and her family and friends live with the memory of those two defenseless children screaming for their lives...
It was heart wrenching listening to David Smith today regarding Susan Smith’s 30 years in prison and possible parole. Thank God the parole board did not grant her release. As he stated so eloquently, 15 years for each child she murdered is not enough. It breaks my heart just thinking about what he and his family have been through all of these years.
I’m sorry, but she don’t need to be out because what if she gets pregnant again and she does the same thing she don’t need to be out of person she made her bed and now she needs to lay in it. Wait till her send it to his app because something is going to happen to her if she’s out of jail, I mean I’m not threatening her or anything, but it’s the fact unless she moves somewhere else and change her name and her looks because she’s gonna be looking over her shoulder. People are gonna be out for her for doing what she did.
I HOPE and PRAY this father and everyone who stands by him KNOW worldwide MANY more people stand in support of the children's loved ones than a COLD BLOODED female who did this. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I’m from South Carolina, everyone knows this story. I was two when it happened, I thought she should’ve gotten parole but after watching this, she deserves to stay in prison for eternity!
Smh .. imagine drowning your kids over a man who's going to take you to the bar for a few Jager bombs, sleep with you, and ghost you. 🌊🚗 But now you want out. I can't stand to hear my cat cry, but you could listen to your baby's cry for the length of time it took for the car to sink. May God have mercy on your soul.
I was 32 when this happened my daughter had just turned a year old! My daughter is 31 now and these Baby boys never got a chance to have a Life! 😢 I am 62 now and i remember this like it was yesterday! I am glad they denied her Parole! She needs to suffer like these Babies did! They didn't deserve any of this! If anything Susan why didn't you just give custody to David then they would of had a Life! 😕😢😢😕RIP! Michael and Alex!
If she killed her children and blamed another person and never apologized, not remorseful, especially blaming a Blackman. Although historically it's happened multiple times blaming blacks its horrific for a a race of black families. Many in prisons are there by false implication. As this is her 30th year of life in prison, however, the scope of the case she should be denied parole for her playing God and taking the life of her two toddlers. Also, please attempt to rehabilitate her in the event she may be released and capable once again to experience freedom.
I remember this story coming on my television like it was yesterday. I remember Susan presenting herself without raw emotion for having her babies missing. I knew before the news conference was over that she murdered her sons. She should never be released and be made to serve her last breath in prison.
She’s disgusting she needs to stay in jail. I lost my son from a heart virus the same year this occurred and he was wanted and loved and here she is murdering two of her own flesh and blood and what for a new life with a man who never wanted her to begin.
Only a vile type of evil can carry to beautiful innocent souls in her belly. Birth and care for them. Only to take the life you helped create. I honestly hope she is never released from the cell she put herself in!
How can a mother murder her children? I suffered from prodigious postpartum depression after my second child was born in 2012, but even in my despondency and despair, I was guilty and ashamed bc of my inability to tend to my baby. I hated not being able to take care of him b/w his 2nd and 11th/12th weeks of life. Even though I couldn’t do what needed to be done, I was still overwhelmingly concerned about my kids. Postpartum depression is serious. However, any mental health condition that causes your maternal inclinations to completely collapse and dematerialize should merit life in prison without the possibility of parole.
She just got denied ‼️ thank goodness ! The poor family have to relive this every 2 years though! 😢please stop giving her parole SC
That was so emotional 😭 so glad they didn’t let her out. I feel so bad for David Smith and everyone else who will have to fight her release every two years from now on
💯💯💯💯
She should never get out .
She didn't get parole.
Thank goodness. Human beings the world over can take a collective sigh of relief.
Just got a notification while watching this... DENIED PAROLE!!! YES...👏👏👏
Good she needs to Rot in prison for all she did
Correct !!!!
Yeah... Rot in the hell you created.
Never be released. No child is safe in your space
She will literally NEVER get out. David put it so perfectly "15 years for each child is not enough"

@@rodneythe3rd122 Thank you! Fixed it. :)

That's what I said about the menendez brothers they have done 34 yrs and that's 17 yrs that's not long enough for killing 2 people
Sadly she can try again in two years, and, seeing her fake cry and her styled as a remorseful christian woman, she will try again.
They’re right. If it had been a black man or if had been David who killed them, they would get the death penalty. She should have gotten the death penalty.
Absolutely
I agree
She has that narcissist smirk.

I worked with her husband kind man Not sure why he didn’t change his name? Heartbreaking 💔
"Not sure why this woman should be released." - Because she's a woman. It's that simple. They have a different level of justice then everyone else.
@@AlphaOmega888 she was denied parole, you misogynistic idiot.
I think the first clue that she was lying is when she said she jumped out of the car and left her kids in it with a stranger
Self-preservation is a strong impulse. She was still young enough to have more kids if things didn't work out.
A nonexistent black stranger! Rot in prison Evil B!
Amen!! I knew something stunk. Told my family you'd find my body with flesh under my fingernails and skid marks on my lifeless body if somebody tried that.
She's a narcissist ! She truly expected to be granted parole is proof that she still is !
I had a client who was carjacked with her child. She managed to get the toddler onto her lap, and when he pulled off into a neighborhood to possibly assault her, she fled carrying her child. He pistol whipped her, but a neighbor came out, and he fled.
Just think how much time & how much money it costed for this community, state, etc. Then think about those trusting babies breathing in that lake water. Think about the volunteers who gave up their time and their money. Susan Smith should never be released.
Ma’am, I don’t mean to sound like a smart ass, but the past tense of cost is just cost.
And Susan‘s trial did cost the county a lot of money, season Smith has cost and continues to cost so much in terms of pain, and psychological trauma as well as money
@@spiralrose Did you mean 'Susan' instead of season? Lol
As of roughly 2 hours ago her parole was..... DENIED!
I’m so glad she didn’t get out. She had so many chances to come to her senses and save her kids but she didn’t.
Also she has a disciplinary file 6 inches thick from her time in prison. She’s had multiple affairs with guards. She’s been caught with drugs, done illegal interviews, etc. No way in hell she should get parole.
I mean, Susan is a woman who had a willing affair with her stepfather, the same man that molested her when she was 15
This was amazingly and beautifully portrayed. Thank you for giving Michael and Alex a voice.
Don’t let IT out
Her mentor is Diane who shot her kids for a man who didn’t want kids.
That's another one who should never see the light of day
This seems familiar but I can't remember.
Diane Downs?
Pure evil. That stupid smirk she always had on her face was so disgusting
@@lucienelson Diane was more hurt when she bumped the arm she shot herself with when she was re-enacting, struggling w/the so-called car-jacker for police. She even laughed about it.
Ever notice how these killers always manage to crack a smile because their mask falls. (Diane Downs, Susan Smith, Darlene Routier, etc).
Wow. Putting her wedding album in the car. I've never heard that. 😵💫
and wedding dress
@sheilacrabtree5993 that definitely speaks to her state of mind.
She is burying her old life and starting a new life with her boyfriend.
I never heard about that either
@@karenmariebragg4642 it was in the trial. On UA-cam there is the susan Smith story
Says ALOT none of Susan's family were at her parole hearing....
Her parole was denied. And rightfully so!
She robbed him of his memories too 😢
Give it to God at the hearing this morning David. He will be with you 🙏🏼
Amen
Never let this monster out! No parole.
And no books or paid Netflix!
I agree. Pure evil
But she's a woman tho.. doesn't se deserve special treatmet? Yes she's a white woman i know.. but still a woman right?
Keep her in prison until she reaches 83. Those poor little boys and the families they would’ve had. Bless David on his continued walk I can’t imagine what pain he endures. They were so young he hardly has any precious memories of them. So sad.
Poor David looks like he was hit by a steam roller, God Bless him.
At her hearing today, she didn’t take accountability, nor apologize for being a racist, she & her lawyer ad nothing but excuses! Keep her there, she’s supposedly doing so good in prison, keep her in her element!!!!! Justice came again for #MichaelNAlex
She's a racist? Are you saying that bc she blamed a BM? I figure she said that just bc I never looked at it like she's a racist.... Ok I hear ya.....
I don’t think they will let her out for long long time. I feel for David having to go and stand up for his boys every two years. 😢
Keep her there just because she's a racist?? How stupid. What about keeping her there for what she did to those kids?? Now,THAT'S IMPORTANT!
@@LoveMyDaisyGirl911 why would she say a black man just because? And yes that’s racist to blame and put many black men lives in danger over a lie. Ex. Emmitt Til.
@@Tha543boyyou people know the name of ET but do you know any names of racist black people that killed white people. Lady that stabbed the white baby in the parking lot? Know her name? How about the black kids that beat that white mentality challenged person to near death as they yelled racist slurs. Know their names? We could go on and on. Honestly I don’t know names. The stories are shown for a brief moment and then never aired again. You don’t see how they push a narrative?
I pray this demonic woman rots in prison.
I was 6 years old when this happened, not much older than the oldest boy, and I remember this. I live in western NC, a few hours from Union County. It's such a sad story. 30 years later, and we will never forget.
I was 12 and I remember that week of watching the news and my parents reaction when her arrest was announced.
It had never occurred to me before then that a mother would drown her children.
I knew about child abuse, I’m sure deep down. I must’ve known that some parents killed their children before, but it feels like Susan Smith was the one that ripped the wool out from over my eyes.
I had never heard of a mother doing that to her children
No matter how much time has passed, this was sad on every level :(
Unfathomable. Truly. 💔💔💔
No Parole for Her…EVER!!!
I hope this evil monster is never allowed out of jail. Susan is evil, yet the guards , had sex with her, they should lost thier jobs
True
She is NOT in jail, and was never sentenced to jail. There is NO such thing as being sentenced to jail for years or murder, and NO such thing as parole from jail. Jail us not prison.
she also had sex with them as well. jobs were lost. her life just went on as usual.
@@Ausgar-yc1yl verrrry, very important distinction!
They did lose their jobs.
BLESS YOU DAVID!!! & BLESS MICHAEL& ALEX RIH🙏❤️
and as horrible as this case is it could have been even worse situation just think about it some innocent black man could have been murdered for her lies!
Your right
Exactly!!!!
1000%%^
this
@@metsl1870 It's very upsetting to see the faces of those in the African American community who were all victimized by Susan's lies. Susan owes her own brother an apology for having to apologize to the African American community on her behalf.
Poor little Michael and Alex. Still in their car seats. Blamed a black man on top of that.
Oh yes,blaming a black man and murdering two kids are on the same level. Get Real.
I remember this coming on the tv at my grandma’s house. I was 36, grandma in her late ‘80’s. We looked at each other and together said, “She’s lying.”
I was like 10 yrs old and I remember my mom saying “she’s lying!” after watching her on the news
I was 10 as well and living in Australia. She was all over the news here and no one believed her.
Yeah I was like 16 when this happened. I was pretty naive and I thought my mom was being really negative by saying that she thought Susan Smith was really behind their disappearance. With that being said, she also thought that Jacob Wetterlings mother was behind his disappearance as well. Which we all know is not at all true.
Im from B.C Canada, and I remember this like it was yesterday, it was all over our news here as well. It was one of the first big true crime cases that caught my attention as a teenager. I really can't believe it's been so long already and that she was actually up for parole. Thank God she was denied. Thinking of David and his family during this time.
Bless you David 🙏🏼
This may seem odd, but I just want to give acknowledgment to Matthew Yates who edited this. It was very, very well done. At the end, when the black and white picture of the boys slowly turns to color touched my heart deeply. That has a lot of meaning in the context of this whole horrible situation.
Shame on the Sheriff for talking to media before notifying David and the rest of family 😡
I'm from Union, SC and this shook up our entire community. They were harassing so many black men due to her lies.
I feel bad for the kids, husband, and the black neighbors. Just terrible! Someone else could have been hurt behind her lie!
I love that a Black man is mayor, big changes from when this case happened
Mayor is nothing unless he has control of the bag. We live in a mostly Hispanic and white town and have a Hispanic mayor but she has NO POWER or control of decisions. Guess who has control and power? I’m sure you can guess.
Haha. You stuck in the 50’s?? You should get out more
Wow you just displayed a lack of historical knowledge as big as Texas. My God please look through some websites on black history, white Southern history or something to educate yourself. Her lie could of got a man killed and that's no exaggeration. That was covered thoroughly in this video. The officials were afraid of an old style mob attack. That was said in video. Obviously, the charges of killing the children were most important. Under the prison IMO.
So glad she was denied parole today
Those boys would be married by now, maybe with their own kids. But no...a selfish mother ended that and had the nerve to blame a black man. I hope she never sees the light of day again.
If her sentence was 30 to life with parole, and now, after 30 years, and parole is denied.....why do they continue with a hearing every 2 years?
If parole is denied, that should be the end. Another 2 years will not rehab them, if 30 years didnt!
Exactly. She’s been trouble in prison and only cares for herself. If I lived in USA I would go and speak on those boys behalf
Because that’s what the law was at the time she was sentenced. We don’t have to agree or even like it but that’s just the way it is. If it was my choice she’d be UNDER THE PRISON!!
My Texas family was horrified and shocked as these boys were almost exactly the age of ours. I assured all that my hubs and I agreed - no matter what - either of us could walk away with no questions asked if we'd simply LEAVE. We all agreed to support each other if that unthinkable time happened but that the MOST unthinkable would be harm coming to our precious boys. Michael and Alex accomplished much in their deaths. They're experiencing eternal life and joy and their situation caused many, many families to pause to reflect on what really matters.
I’ve never heard that Susan’s wedding dress & Albumn was in the car…wow
I didn't know that until the other day either.
That's telling
I didn’t know that either, wow, she was throwing it all away
She was playing around with another man and planning to leave her husband anyway!
@@dreadede Tommy Pope said she would have put David in the car if she could have.
Ummm the step father admitted in court that he s..xually molested her as a child, groomed her, and continued a relationship with her while she was married??!!? Did he go to jail too??!!
why does she wants to come out? what does she want to live for, she should pray for forgiveness instead of asking for release, she betrayed the two boys.
You’d think she would have offed herself by now.
Because she’s that selfish!
@@harlzNYshe loves herself too much
I can't believe they got the guard to talk about his activities with her.
Hell he was all over the place talking about it. He was getting his 15mins of fame
She doesn't deserve to be free, ever in my opinion!
Ever!!!! A fear of mine is drowning. Those boys thought they were just on a car ride with “mom” what she did is despicable!!
@RG-qo2hu yes, her babies death was considerably heinous and cruel !
Yes this is the B that blamed a Black man for carjacking her and taking her children. Sure let her out…see what happens!
She needs to be delt with
It’s not about who she said did it… it’s that two little boys lost their lives.. good god y’all latch on to anything to make it about yourselves
So thankful she was denied parole
Did that prison guard that screwed her go to jail? What a creep.
Why it’s wrong and he probably lost his job, it’s not against the law. What would he go to,jail for?
While not why
@@youwish2022it’s against the law , in some states it’s a s*x crime
@@youwish2022Because it would be considered rape. As a prisoner she cannot give consent. He was in a position of authority and used that position to get sex. Whether she agreed or not its still rape. Thats why.
I believe he did lost his job and pension I seen him in an interview according to him she manipulated him and ruined his life too
Still remember it like it was yesterday...Her ex husband and her family and friends live with the memory of those two defenseless children screaming for their lives...
Parole denied!!!!
Her one wish was not telling Tom Finley about her affair with his father?!!! How about wishing she hadn't killed her boys???
💯
That was my reaction, too!
It was heart wrenching listening to David Smith today regarding Susan Smith’s 30 years in prison and possible parole. Thank God the parole board did not grant her release. As he stated so eloquently, 15 years for each child she murdered is not enough. It breaks my heart just thinking about what he and his family have been through all of these years.
Well said 👍🏻
I’m sorry, but she don’t need to be out because what if she gets pregnant again and she does the same thing she don’t need to be out of person she made her bed and now she needs to lay in it. Wait till her send it to his app because something is going to happen to her if she’s out of jail, I mean I’m not threatening her or anything, but it’s the fact unless she moves somewhere else and change her name and her looks because she’s gonna be looking over her shoulder. People are gonna be out for her for doing what she did.
She's too old to get pregnant!
Shes 53 yrs old now.. She ain't getting pregnant...🙄
I HOPE and PRAY this father and everyone who stands by him KNOW worldwide MANY more people stand in support of the children's loved ones than a COLD BLOODED female who did this. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
EWWW!!! So Susan was having an affair with Rich Boyfriend-Tom Findlay's Father too! And when he found out he broke up with her! 🤮🤮🤮
She got around
I’m from South Carolina, everyone knows this story. I was two when it happened, I thought she should’ve gotten parole but after watching this, she deserves to stay in prison for eternity!
She never deserves parole
Ɓless you David
Can’t believe she’s still around! Why on earth would you grant parole to that monster?
She was denied parole. RIF.
Smh .. imagine drowning your kids over a man who's going to take you to the bar for a few Jager bombs, sleep with you, and ghost you. 🌊🚗
But now you want out. I can't stand to hear my cat cry, but you could listen to your baby's cry for the length of time it took for the car to sink. May God have mercy on your soul.
Jesus, leave them at a church for God's sake.
MANIAC
Classic description…just like the BHS - Bushy Haired Stranger. See the Diane Downs case
White follks!
Don't ever put David through another parole hearing .
She was sentenced to 30 years to life with the chance for parole. So she will continue to get parole hearings.
I was 32 when this happened my daughter had just turned a year old! My daughter is 31 now and these Baby boys never got a chance to have a Life! 😢 I am 62 now and i remember this like it was yesterday! I am glad they denied her Parole! She needs to suffer like these Babies did! They didn't deserve any of this! If anything Susan why didn't you just give custody to David then they would of had a Life! 😕😢😢😕RIP! Michael and Alex!
She should have just given the children to their father. Why let them die? Poor David.😢
The way she was trying to force the nonexistent tears out during the parole hearing……😒 What a wicked woman 😡
Audacity to expect to parole after deliberately killing her sons. Ibeg your pardon. Your punishment is a real lifetime in a prison cell
Every criminal expects it..
Thank goodness she confessed shortly after. Just imagine all the black men she almost put in danger because of this.
Parole denied
If she killed her children and blamed another person and never apologized, not remorseful, especially blaming a Blackman. Although historically it's happened multiple times blaming blacks its horrific for a a race of black families. Many in prisons are there by false implication. As this is her 30th year of life in prison, however, the scope of the case she should be denied parole for her playing God and taking the life of her two toddlers. Also, please attempt to rehabilitate her in the event she may be released and capable once again to experience freedom.
Why "especially a black man"??? What if it would've been a "white man" that was accused?? They would have looked just as hard for him!
I remember this story coming on my television like it was yesterday. I remember Susan presenting herself without raw emotion for having her babies missing. I knew before the news conference was over that she murdered her sons. She should never be released and be made to serve her last breath in prison.
Keep Her she took those 2 innocent lil boy's lives !!💯🤬🎯
Poor David
She’s disgusting she needs to stay in jail. I lost my son from a heart virus the same year this occurred and he was wanted and loved and here she is murdering two of her own flesh and blood and what for a new life with a man who never wanted her to begin.
So sad. Sorry for YOUR great loss!❤❤❤
Only a vile type of evil can carry to beautiful innocent souls in her belly. Birth and care for them. Only to take the life you helped create. I honestly hope she is never released from the cell she put herself in!
Why did the step father not accused for this?
She is sick and the father had influence on it.
How can a mother murder her children? I suffered from prodigious postpartum depression after my second child was born in 2012, but even in my despondency and despair, I was guilty and ashamed bc of my inability to tend to my baby. I hated not being able to take care of him b/w his 2nd and 11th/12th weeks of life. Even though I couldn’t do what needed to be done, I was still overwhelmingly concerned about my kids. Postpartum depression is serious. However, any mental health condition that causes your maternal inclinations to completely collapse and dematerialize should merit life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Had anyone ever asked Susan, why she just didn't leave her children and husband for her affair? It never made sense.
My bf was part of the volunteer search and rescue team. He said it was all so crazy. So glad she was denied parole yesterday. RIP babies.💙
