Susan Smith, the South Carolina mother convicted of killing her two sons by rolling her car into a lake in 1994, is set to appear before a parole board on Wednesday to request her release. Smith, now 53, is currently serving a life sentence after being found guilty of murder but spared from the death penalty by the jury. According to state law, she is eligible for a parole hearing every two years after completing 30 years in prison.
During the hearing, Smith will present her case for parole via video link from prison. Her ex-husband and the prosecutor from her murder trial will also provide arguments against her release.
