Susan Smith, the South Carolina mother who killed her two sons by rolling her car into a lake in 1994 and then falsely blamed a Black man, will ask a parole board for her freedom on Wednesday.
For the last 30 years, Smith, 53, has served a life sentence behind bars after a jury convicted her of murder for strapping her two young sons into the backseat of the car before putting it into a lake. Now that she’s hit the three-decade mark, she is eligible for a parole hearing every two years.
