Speaker 1: a car theft, but also in Reed's murder. The chase

30
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,240

32

61
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,360

73
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 2: I'm Drew Nelson, a South Carolina mother who drowned her

74
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 2: to young sons in nineteen ninety four. As now a

75
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 2: complete nightmare in prison after being denied parole. That's according

76
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: to a corrections officer who spoke to the New York Post.

77
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 2: Susan Smith, now fifty three years old, has served thirty

78
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 2: years of a life sentence for the murders of three

79
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 2: year old Michael and fourteen month old Alexander. She was

80
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 2: denied parole on November twentieth after a hearing where she

81
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 2: pleaded from her.

82
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 3: It was so horrible.

83
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 4: And I'm giving the idea can change it. That was

84
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 4: then this is now. A prison worker at Leath Correctional

85
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 4: Facility tells the New York Post. Smith's behavior changed immediately

86
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 4: after the decision. Quote. Last year, when she had a

87
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 4: chance of getting out, she was really cooperative, helpful, even pleasant.

88
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 4: But now she's the complete opposite, just rude and all

89
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 4: the time. Overnight she went from being a model prisoner

90
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 4: to a complete nightmare. Smith gained a national attention in

91
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 4: nineteen ninety four when she rolled her car into John D.

92
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 4: Long Lake in Union, South Carolina, with her two sons

93
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 4: strapped inside. The vehicle took six minutes to sink. Smith

94
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 4: initially told police a black man had carjacked her, sparking

95
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 4: a nationwide search. Nine days later, she admitted to the murders.

96
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 4: Investigators revealed she wanted to be with a man who

97
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 4: did not want children. She was convicted in nineteen ninety

98
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 4: five and sentenced to life for the chance of parole

99
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 4: after thirty years. Her ex husband David Smith opposed her release,

100
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 4: wearing a pin with pictures of their sons. Quote, God

101
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 4: gives us free choice, and she made free choice that

102
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 4: night to end their life. This wasn't a tragic mistake.

103
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 4: She purposefully meant to end their life. Smith will have

104
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 4: another chance at parole next year, but David has vowed

105
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 4: to fight against her release every time. For the latest
