Thirty years after the tragic incident that shocked the nation, Susan Smith, the South Carolina woman who drowned her two young sons in a lake, is gearing up for a parole hearing. The upcoming hearing has sparked controversy and strong opinions from those familiar with her case.
In 1994, Smith, then 22 years old, strapped her sons, 3-year-old Michael and 14-month-old Alexander, into her car and let it sink into John D. Long Lake in Union, South Carolina. The heartbreaking act took the lives of her innocent children, leading to a life sentence for Smith in 1995.
