A group of about 15 people urged against parole. They included her ex-husband and the father of the boys, David Smith.

It’s too bad that he now has to fight her parole every two years. She should have gotten the death penalty.
There was no way they were going to give the death penalty back in that era to a young my woman. I just wish it had been Life WITHOUT the possibility of parole.
Bless this man as he reflects upon his beautiful sons. RIP.
She traumatized the whole world. Stay in prison Susan Smith.
Those babies died in trauma
Trauma begets trauma. No one protected Susan when her stepfather r***** her for years, starting before she was a teenager. When she reported it, South Carolina decided on counseling as a family. Susan had no alone time with a counselor to report that the abuse was continuing. The stepfather admitted it and was never charged with a crime. There is no mention of this in all the parole reports, even though he was the catalyst.
A life sentence is a life sentence.
Should have been two life sentences.
I remember how devastated David was at the time of this case, poor man still is. RIP Michael and Alex x
This poor man and this poor family have to endure this every two years? I cannot imagine.
Praying for David Smith and his family 🙏🏻🌹
I held my breath the whole time ! I was so afraid they would let her free. God Bless the Families of these precious boys.
I remember when all of this happened. I was pregnant with my daughter at the time and was absolutely horrified that any mother could take the life of their child let alone 2. There should be absolutely no second chances for anyone who commits any type of a crime against a child.
Right there with you . I remember how distraught and horrified everyone was .
I remember this case so well and how Susan smirked while talking about her missing kids. David was devastated and clearly still is. It was known in the UK too.
Same here my son was born around that time; so heartless
Violence against any child is horrible , but worse when it’s her own flesh and blood.
My son was 1 year old When she Drowned is beautiful angels babies .today my son is 31 years old He's a grown man now and a very hard working Auto mechanic, very smart Very proud.
This poor man. I can't imagine the life long suffering he is going through. He's suffering the lose of his sons more than she is. She should never be eligible for parole, never.
So happy for this man ❤ she needs to stay in prison she took two innocent lives her children no less 🙏♥️
Why didn't she just give custody to their father since her "new man" didn't want children? Why did she kill the babies instead? Self centered. Prayers for the father and those who loved the precious children. Rest in peace, Michael and Alex.
She's a narcissist, self centered and gets off inflicting pain on others.
The two boy's are in heaven glory to God in the highest.
Good that they denied her.. Been a long time, she still tries to play her games...
Just doesn't seem fair that after 30 long years this father is now thrust in to the nightmare again! Life should be life. The victims and the community deserve peace of mind.
She sounded and acted the same way she did 30 yrs ago when she was lying! Praying for David and family... 🙏🏻✝️🕯️🕯️
My heart breaks for this man and his family.
I agree with 💯 please don’t ever stop going to the hearings
How is parole even on the table? I don't understand
HalleuYah 🙌 no parole for Susan Smith! May God bless and heal David Smith, his family, and the entire community. I'll continue to pray she never gets parole. She should only get out of prison when her two little boys get out of their graves.
The reverend making sure people don’t forget black men suffer because of her 👊🏽
My son was four years old when this happened. I can remember talking to my mother in law daily about this case. We talked about what kind of person would take someone's car with two young boys in the back. It was just unbelievable to me. Crimes like that didn't happen in 1994 like they do now. I remember feeling so bad for her and her husband. She really faked it. She lied and she cried over and over and over again. When she was arrested, I was so angry at her. I couldn't understand then, and I don't understand now how a mother could do something like that to her own children. But i've come to the conclusion that it is the absolute highest level of selfishness that someone can have. Susan smith wanted a life without her children so she could be free to do what she wanted to do. I believe without a doubt that she is a sociopath. She will never have true remorse for what she did because she has no conscience. She is definitely where she needs to be and where she needs to remain.
She hasn’t changed clearly!! She has the same sociopathic attitude/mentality that she exhibited 30 years ago. She’s still enclosed by evil. Life = 30 years before getting parole.. currently in Tennessee Life = 51 years served before parole consideration.
God bless David Smith & the entire family 🙏!! I can’t imagine what they are going through, and now to have it on the horizon every 2 years. And she, Susan Smith, actually thought David would speak for her 🤦🏼♀️!!! She will not change. It’s literally not in her soul or DNA.
I lived not far from Union. I was pregnant and remember how cold the nights were. I walked the floor and prayed for answers for David. She should never see the light of day. It was no surprise she did it.
I lost my oldest son 12 years ago. How blessed I am it wasn't in a horrific manner. My life is destroyed and I can't begin to understand his pain.
So sorry for your pain, my friend. God bless you.
She asked him to speak on her behalf?! She’s a delusional narcissist. It is infuriating that he has to go through this every two years.
Who are the idiots that determined life in prison isn't life in prison but rather thirty years?
The jury failed those 2 little boys by "NOT" giving her the "DEATH PENALTY" !!
All praise be unto the Lord! May Your will be done, God. Be strong David. Steady & strong for your baby boys. 💚
The family should not be tortured every 2 years by having to keep going thru her per roll requests. That is so cruel to them. Absolute torture! Worse than being in jail!
NEVER EVER under absolutely no circumstances do you ever take questions from the media.
Got one down, one more to go for another case: Yolanda Saldivar next year, 30 years ago she killed Tejano singer Selena and Saldivar's parole hearing is March 31st (what do you know, the day she shot Selena). Praying and hoping it's the same result, parole denied. Life sentence for good.
My heart breaks for the father as much now as well as when it happened.
She lied when she said she changed her mind at the last minute and left the car as it was sinking….her clothes were reportedly DRY. And her jailhouse behavior has been criminal with unscrupulous behavior. Glad she stays in….but here is what bothers me….the Menendez lying brothers possibly getting out. They need to also stay in…for life also.
I agree. I find it hard to believe that the this sudden information is coming out at an election time. They went on shopping sprees, they wanted the money, it wasn’t about exual a*buse
She needs to rot In jail I was 12 years old when this happened and remember like it was yesterday
The wife chomping on gum was a bit inappropriate
That’s David’s wife.Chewing gum helps with anxiety.
It’s such a minute point in the big picture but, gosh, Iooks terrible
@@Ann-sj4ptI agree that she is experiencing a lot of anxiety but, ooft 🤦♀️
@ i know what you mean,it does look bad.Police in England chew gum too,and when i first saw it,i thought it was disrespectful too.
I am so sorry for your loss and that you will have to go through every two years.
Bless yous my friends 😢
I am so sorry sir that you have to relive this every 2 yrs...Gob bless you sir. Stay strong. Keep her locked up for life.
David pls stay strong. Your beautiful little boys are watching over you. They need you to stay strong. I know it's not easy. My heart breaks for you. May God bless you and your family. RIP little angels🪽🪽🪽🪽🪽🪽🪽🪽🪽🪽🪽🪽🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
And didn't she lie and say a Black man killed them? Rot in jail
Michael and Alex are adults now.
They need to keep her behind bars and never let out. Life sentence.😢💔🙏🙏
only way to find peace is through forgiveness🙌🏻❤️
I remember went it first happened.i looked at husband when I saw her on TV saying her kids were gone.i told my husband she was lying.there was NOT one tear in her eyes.she then blamed a man who didn't exist.she killed those beautiful babies because of a man.i went to John d.long lake before they changed it but I went to look at the huge memorial with those boys and I broke down.hiw can a mother ever do that to her kids.she will have to answer to GOD for this.
I was six years old when this case happened, and it's always stuck out in my mind ever since. I think it's the biggest reason why drowning is one of my worst fears. She claims to regret it, but all I see is Susan caring about Susan!
I always felt so incredibly bad for David
He is an amazing man
God Bless you David and your children, Michael and Alex. I Support you 💯% And Also very Thankful that You, David have a wonderful Family and Many people "SUPPORT TEAM " with you. You have a Loving Heart ❤❤❤🙏🙏
Note to self: do not chew gum and blow bubbles while on TV😂
Cut her some slack she's traumatized by this whole event. She's nervous and hurting from memories!
Our collective hearts are with David and his family.
I remember this so vividly my oldest son was two months old and I remember going to work and looking for that car and when I found out what she had done to those precious boys
Susan Smith will probably screw up in two years and get denied again. Life should mean life.
This is what is wrong with the justice systeM HOW MUCH REVENGE TO YOU WANT.
God Bless to David and his family ❤❤
Poor guy. What a mess. She won't get out.
God bless you David. You and those boys have been in my heart for 30 years and will remain until i breathe my last. I am thrilled for your family today. Praying and well wishes ... 🙏
Please stop chewing gum. It’s disrespectful
Stop being so critical, she's nervous and hurting!
Thank you for all your work to keep her in prison. I believe the entire nation stands behind David Smith, and we will fight for justice for Michael and Alex every two years.
I was a teenager when she murdered her children. Even then I didn’t believe her pleas for her boys to be returned.
I can’t imagine the fear the boys felt that their own Mother was sinking their car and not saving them and their last moments while water was filling their lungs. ALL for a man who didn’t really want anything to do with her, let alone any reason at all.
It’s time to start a petition that parole reviews are much more than two years. That is an unfair trigger as the victims that they are as well because they’ve had to suffer for 30 years and more and more and more.
I remember when this happened she needs to stay in prison for the rest of her . She said she lives her boys which is not true
They won't let her out.
What about the fact that she said she didn’t do it and has an appeal in process???
I haven't heard that. What's that about? 😕
@ she said it through her fake crying during her statement
I would tell them that I don’t want her to have my last name.
This prosecutor is wonderful!
It's a shame she's up for parole again in only two years. The family will never stop worrying that she might get out. The new law that life is life should be made retroactive!
Thank you to the prosecutor and everyone who helped put her where she is and keeping her where she is!!
God bless you and your beautiful family God is good ❤
Prayers to Mr. David Smith and family. May the boys RIP.
Susan should rot in jail for her heinous crime.
keep her in jail!
I'll never forget the interview with her and David when Susan expressed dupers delight and David was shocked and devastated. What a contrast! Susan loved the celebrity. She's sick.
She needs to stay in prison for life.She did what she did for selfish reasons.The boyfriend told her he didn't want children so she killed them.She should have given them to their Daddy.She put in though a lot my heart goes out to him.pray for David and his family
I don't think she should ever have chance at parole. I certainly feel that every 2 years is ridiculous. Why continue to put victims through this? I don't see how someone is going to change in 2 years if they haven't in 30. Just asinine.
So heartbreaking.
My heart breaks for him!! ❤ That she can even get an opportunity to get parole!! This man lives every day with what she did too!! Susan is exactly where she belongs.
His beautiful kids would be around my daughter’s age. 😢
🙏🏾🙏🏾 she's a monster how could she killed 2 little kids my heart goes out to the father 💔
It was beyond obvious that she was lying & fake crying. Poor man. How crazy to go through all he has & having to continue to live a nightmare. She is vile & absolutely deserves life. She's a narcissist
Thank God David found a wonderful wife and has 2 beautiful girls!!
I would loved to have seen the look on Susan Smith’s face when she found out no one bought her act.
Praying for you and family Davis
Michael and Alex's blood scream up from the ground. She should stay where she is.
She should stay were she is. She is alive the boys are not. what right should she have to walk free. God don't see it that way.
Who is this guy yeah the stand in
This is a woman that is so narcissistic that I do not believe that she could ever be saved through Jesus she has no redeemable values at all I pray that she never gets out of prison
God Bless
Bless him Lord God🤲🏾❤️🩹
Put on cry
God bless you and your family , for the hell that this women has put you and your family through. What she has done she should have gotten the death penalty and you and your family would not have go through this again. Even though it has been 30 years , it is still hard to deal with the loss of your kids , especially , when you have to go through this hell in hell in two years. you are a strong and brave man and I will pray to god for him to bless you with his strength and power to remain brave. amen brother. as Sly Stallone always says , keep punching.
