@@wendyzj2705it was! I went through it and my doctors were completely ignorant. To prove the point, my obgyn called me two years later and said, “I’ve got another gal with depression. How did you deal with it?”. Wtf?
David turned a blind eye to her expressing she wanted to hurt these kids and didn’t do anything to be proactive, so the least he can do now is help keep this woman in prison.
He looks so broken in his eyes even though he moved on and has more kids with Ana amazing wife it haunts him. You can tell. He looks like he hasn’t slept like since they died…..
@@krissy0628He probably hasn’t. This Thanksgiving when you and I are sitting down to a family turkey dinner… there are 2 empty plates where there would be 2 - 30 plus year old men and their wives. Why did they schedule this before the holidays. Why not in the summer … when his family can go out to garden afterwards, and have a better experience. This is very badly conceived by the justice department. I wish Trey Goudy was still the Senator, as I would ask why.
If she truly felt the pain she caused, if she was truly remorseful for murdering her children, she would never want to get out of prison. She'd want to stay there because she'd know that's what she deserves. I was a young mother with a son the same age as one of Susan's sons. I don't know how to articulate it but this crime captured the nation and it was heartbreaking. We all felt it. I'm getting choked up now just thinking about it all these years later. No parole should ever be granted this woman.
In one breath says she is sorry and the next says she is not guilty of what she was charged with. This is not remorse. She won’t even accept what she has done. Dangerous woman and should be kept locked up. Life should mean life for an adult knowingly and with planning beforehand commiting murder.
TO ADD... If a black man was arrested, and she confirmed his identity, WE ALL KNOW he most likely would still be rotting in a SOUTH Carolina prison, or would've been executed by now.
Fake crying again just like when the boys were missing. Means nothing. It’s just to gain sympathy. She should never be free. She can’t obey rules inside prison or out of it.
These parole hearings are just a joke ,such a waste of the taxpayers money and a horrible reminder to her living victims. This women will never be sorry or fit for parole . So terrible that our criminal system allows for the family to relive all this trauma every 2 years .I truly wonder who makes these rules .😮
Good! She should never get out. She killed them and tried to blame some black men. Better off with Jesus? Can you image drowning and not being able to get out? In your last seconds, you know the person who was suppose to take care of you isn’t helping you.
#1: She's served a 30yr sentence and decided to "grow up" the last 10yrs of sentencing. #2: She wants the mercy of the parole board but didn't show her own children the same. SMH
What part of parole she doesn't get ?? You murdered 2 babies, Not one but two innocent lives !! all for another man (from an affair ).After all these years She still delusional thinking she stood a chance to be free, Let her Rott in prison.
I go by what others have said. "she made a choice that day to drown her kids in the lake" She planned it and exectuted it and then lied about it. She should die in prision. What bothers me is that the sentance was so light. 30 years to life? As her ex husband said "that is only 15 years per child she killed". Now the family has to go through this every two years? Thats not right. If they even have a parole hearing it should be evey 10 years or at a minimum 5 years between them. Make the parole hearing mean something.
Every two years is ridiculous. She won’t learn anything in two years if that’s what they want. Just hurting the family over and over again. She wasn’t a juvenile when she did the deed. Her brain was fully developed. She knew exactly what she was doing and planned it. Someone else would have loved those little ones. I can’t even comprehend drowning babies. They aren’t kittens. Life should be life period.
When I was little this case was actually quite massive. I remember it had a huge impact on my mom, and how many women suffer from something called post partum depression, and can be severe. She was interested in psychology at the time. I will never forget the image in my head of 2 children being tied into the car and the person they rely on for everything, warmth, food, love, the person they most trust, Mom, leaving the car to roll into the water. It was the first time I considered my own death, and crying to my mom realizing as a 5 year old that someday I am going to die. I am sorry folks, this was such a poignant time in my life, and thinking about it now for the first time in 30 years is giving me the feels.
This wasn’t her case though! She wanted to impress her new rich boyfriend who said he couldn’t be with her because she had two children and he didn’t want children! You obviously haven’t done your research on this story
Same I remember so much of this case as it was just recently. I was a very young kid. I don’t remember any of most of your details but I remember her all over the news and how she blamed a black man. Ugh she’s sick.
Not only the boys father has suffered for 30 years,his whole family was stripped of them not seeing them growing up. Each family member that spoke it was hard to see their broken hearts. She is as fake now as she was 30 years ago. No tears as she is talking. Her make up is not running like it would when you have real tears. She doesn’t need to the light of day.
She sounds exactly the same as she did back in 1994 still a narcissist and she knew exactly what she was doing but she wanted that wealthy lifestyle more than she loved her own children imagine how evil that is to stand there and watch while those two babies were scared and crying for their momma to help them and did nothing in fact they were found hours later holding hands in death to try and comfort each other she should be under the prison and has not learned one thing over the last 30 years that poor man is still traumatized by her evil behavior.
She needs to stay in prison for the rest of her life what she did to her little boys I don’t feel one bit sorry for her from Donna in Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
I cried listening to David and his family speaking about Michael and Alex and I was so relieved when they denied her parole. I lost my 22 year old son in 2016 and I can agree with David that time will never heal the wounds from the loss of a child, when he said it could be any date or year that can be harder than others I could relate to that so much. I will be doing okay one day and the next the pain just hits all over again and I think to myself that I will never see my son again I’ll never get to hug him or talk to him that he’s gone forever and that pain hits hard. David didn’t lose just one child he lost both of his children and the grief he’s feeling is unimaginable, the loss of my son destroyed me I couldn’t imagine losing my daughter too. My heart breaks for him and I hope Susan never gets released, she should spend the rest of her life in prison.
Same fake crying she did 30 yrs ago while lying. No tears, just lots of wiping eyes, nose, loud gasping, purposeful high pitch squeaky voice to give the allusion of crying. She says "I'm sorry" like she stole someone's lunch. Has no ability to relate to the empathy people feel for those babies and the gravity of what she's done. You would expect something along the lines of "not a day goes by I don't torcher myself thinking of my children and ask myself how could I, think of them and who'd they be today" No, just a Waaaa I said I'm SORRY! Let me out!
If you look at some of the press photos from when it happened but before she was arrested, David is frequently looking at her with what appears to be suspicion. If he was suspicious, what a terrible realisation to come to
It is true that people make mistakes and deserve a second chance; and 30 years is a long time, thus the question of whether her recent infractions should really be used against her. However, the fact that this woman has met potential suitors whilst in prison and actually wants out to go live her life, enjoying sex and drugs, almost perfectly aligns with her initial motive for killing her children,😢
sooo, she planned on this moment for 30 years and the best she could do was scratch under her eyes and tip of her nose? and all they could advocate for her was that she donated arts and crafts? comical.
Nah you don't get to delete your kids cuz you're depressed over having your kids. She thought a man was her answer. And clearly from her behavior in prison she still thinks the same way. Let her out when she is a little old grandma and has only a couple years left to regret the family life she could've had. Many of us don't get the chance!
Anyone who can do what she did to her two baby boys should be locked up for life. I thought that she was a monster since I first saw what she had done, but after hearing her former Prosecutor saying that she also put her wedding dress and wedding photo album in her car with Michael and Alex that just showed me that she wanted to get rid of her boys because her boyfriend didn't want children 😢. She was selfish and evil to choose a man instead of being a mother. She robbed her babies boys lives in such a horrible way and I can't imagine the fear, confusion or pain that those babies suffered as that car was sinking and water was filling up the car as their mother just watched the car sinking. Susan shattered hearts all around the world by her selfish and evil decision to be child free..
You are right. This process killed a victim named Sharon Tate’s mother. She was the pregnant victim of the Manson family in California. Her mother, and sister wrote a book about how they went through this victim process… it is absolutely he** for them.
That woman/murderer kept wiping her eyes when she faked cry and each time checked her hand or tissue to check if her mascara ran. Fake cry 100%. She was more worried about her appearance than the importance of the proceeding.
She shouldn't have ever been eligible for parole. Thaank god they denied it.
Did anyone ever think she had postpartum depression? That was real 30 yrs ago.
Unfortunately she can try again every two years
Well you don’t make the rules
Fake crying again. This woman is still dangerous to society.

Forgiveness … doesn’t mean that you are relieved of the consequences of your actions.
Heartfelt. David is his sons' voice. Proud of him.
David turned a blind eye to her expressing she wanted to hurt these kids and didn’t do anything to be proactive, so the least he can do now is help keep this woman in prison.
Yeah, that's how she cried on national TV making the nation believe someone had kidnapped her 2 children!!
Fake crying. This woman is unbelievable.
Exactly
Wouldn't believe a word she says, no, I'm not empathetic for her one bit!
I feel for David Smith, thank God she was not granted parole. I just have to say that the women standing behind David chewing gum is so disgusting!
The only empathy I feel is for the ex husband. His grief is real. She should never get out alive.
He looks so broken in his eyes even though he moved on and has more kids with Ana amazing wife it haunts him. You can tell. He looks like he hasn’t slept like since they died…..
💯

She makes no mention of the two young children. How on earth is there any remorse?
She is sorry for herself and that's it.
Wiping away no tears whatsoever just like when the boys were missing. Phoney.
Susan Smith and Diane Downs Should never get out !!
For sure.
If she truly felt the pain she caused, if she was truly remorseful for murdering her children, she would never want to get out of prison. She'd want to stay there because she'd know that's what she deserves. I was a young mother with a son the same age as one of Susan's sons.

Too bad the Family has to go through this crap every two years.
She didn’t know… Wow she killed her boys over a man how sad
Did you cry while your boys were drowning?
TO ADD... If a black man was arrested, and she confirmed his identity, WE ALL KNOW he most likely would still be rotting in a SOUTH Carolina prison, or would've been executed by now.
Exactly
It's all about her!! Judging by her prison record, she is beyond help .
She didnt apologize to David AT ALL IN THAT HEARING!!! GOD BLESS YPU DAVID AND YOUR FAMILY🙏🏻
Fake crying again just like when the boys were missing. Means nothing. It’s just to gain sympathy. She should never be free. She can’t obey rules inside prison or out of it.
Time will never heal the loss of a child, especially since it was their own mother that ended their life.. so sad.. 👩
She should never get out alive, just like her innocent little boys drowning in that car.
30 yrs went by fast. Keep her locked up forever.
About 15% of me was willing to hear her out and then I did ….. nope send her back to prison. It was REALLY hard to watch. Sick.
She had 30 years to prepare and this was the best she could do . Wow!!
She's sorry? Yeah, sorry that she is locked up!
Her remorse is for herself, not for what she did to her babies.
These parole hearings are just a joke ,such a waste of the taxpayers money and a horrible reminder to her living victims. This women will never be sorry or fit for parole . So terrible that our criminal system allows for the family to relive all this trauma every 2 years .I truly wonder who makes these rules .😮
She could have left them with David and walk away
You’d be shocked how many mothers would prioritise their itch over their own flesh and blood… what a shame
Mmhmm
Good! She should never get out. She killed them and tried to blame some black men. Better off with Jesus? Can you image drowning and not being able to get out? In your last seconds, you know the person who was suppose to take care of you isn’t helping you.
Imagine her waiting 30 yrs and it took 57 sec! fabulous!!
Her fake cry irritates me
that southern accent is also fake
She wiped her face way too much. She wasn’t crying at all. As usual all about Susan.
Wiped nothing. What an act!
#1: She's served a 30yr sentence and decided to "grow up" the last 10yrs of sentencing.
#2: She wants the mercy of the parole board but didn't show her own children the same.
SMH
She is such a LIAR !! she get’s in trouble in prison sleeping with guard’s having men send her money she can’t be trusted at all‼️ 🤥🤥🤥🤥
Exxellent decision.
She learned that people are important???? She needs 30 more years to learn exactly what that means.
she should never be free
What part of parole she doesn't get ?? You murdered 2 babies, Not one but two innocent lives !! all for another man (from an affair ).After all these years She still delusional thinking she stood a chance to be free, Let her Rott in prison.
My God, you can see the pain in face, praying for peace for him and all.
How do take 2 sons from a man and sit there and cry for mercy????!!!
Every time I see people wiping tears there ain’t none
Rot in prison, you are evil!!!

They didn't let Betty Broderick out they certainly aren't going to parole her (Susan)
she's locked up sleeping with the guards and doing drugs the 2 guards she was sleeping with got fired she needs locked up the rest of her life
Ahhh and they loved Barney my heart is broken 💔 😢 God bless David and his wife 🙏 💔 😢
What a wonderful man! ❤
She knew exactly what she was doing. She wasn't getting her way. Her sons paid
She had no tears !!!!!! Such a bad person.
It is actually unsettling but i cannot remember when last have i seen somebody with so many lies showing in her eyes and on her face.
It reminded of her standing up at the news report she did. Her voice and everything. She’s a sick woman
She needs to rot in jail. She committed murder twice
No tears
She had a handsome husband cheated for what ?
There are no tears coming out of her eyes . She’s not changed
That poor man. Absolutely heartbreaking
She sounds exactly the same as she did back in 1994 still a narcissist and she knew exactly what she was doing but she wanted that wealthy lifestyle more than she loved her own children imagine how evil that is to stand there and watch while those two babies were scared and crying for their momma to help them and did nothing in fact they were found hours later holding hands in death to try and comfort each other she should be under the prison and has not learned one thing over the last 30 years that poor man is still traumatized by her evil behavior.

Can you imagine the pain of the father’s public scrutiny by the press and others??? SHE OWES HIM MONEY HUNNY.
What if by chance two black men had been around the area at the time and been convicted? Even accused they’d need lawyers and go through trial.
Crocodile tears
Shame on that judge who chose to this every two years
when you wiping real tears, you never take the time to watch them on your hand, as proof shown to everyone that you cried. case over.
There are no tears.
The thing that bothers me about Susan is that she does not look at the camera .
She's talking about pain and suffering??! Nah, yeah all those fake tears 😭 we have seen that face before, and full of what looked like tears!!
I cried listening to David and his family speaking about Michael and Alex and I was so relieved when they denied her parole.

2:50 - I am so confused. Wtf is she talking about? I thought we were talking about Susan Smith.
“I’m a Christian” …
The way those boys suffered will never forget that case😢! Save her soul

Shes crying for herself and not those sweet innocent boys that never got a chance to live their lives
David all behind you prayers are with you and your family stay strong!!❤
South Carolina doesn’t suffer child killers!
Still fake crying
She hurt two boys the most.
Oh and she 'found christ'!! 🙄
Just another ploy of hers to go along with her crying act. Nope…she should never get out of prison.
Stay there we don't need her
What does rehabilitation look like? What does prison do? What does forgiveness mean?
Really seems the tone of this news coverage is that once a person has committed a crime, there is no path to forgiveness or rehabilitation.
Her remorse is fake
She loved her children?
And the sweater she wore in front of those cameras was a present from her boyfriend!!
Did you expect her to knit one in prison?
@halomaster9640 Read my comment again and take it in this time!! The cameras and media the day she killed her boys!! 🙄
@halomaster9640 smart 🍑
Of course Susan is going to say she's sorry so the judge sets her free,,,NEVER NEVER !
