Killer mom Susan Smith has been denied parole by a unanimous vote after she sobbed and begged to be let out of prison on Wednesday.
Smith apologized for drowning her two young sons 30 years and and said she wished she could take it back.
But, true to form, she still refused to take full responsibility for her actions — blaming her recent conviction for trying to cash in on her infamy from prison on the documentary maker she was communicating with.
“I trusted the wrong person,” Smith said, referring to the filmmaker — but omitting the fact that she had asked the filmmaker for cash for her story.
She also claimed that previous convictions for misconduct behind bars were not her fault.
Attending the meeting remotely via Zoom, Smith, 53, told the board that she had lost touch with reality when she killed her sons, Alex and Michael, by strapping them in their car seats and letting them drown in a South Carolina lake.
“I am a Christian and I know that God has forgiven me,” Smith told the board, before begging the parole board to “show the same kind of mercy.”
As Smith wiped her tears with a tissue, she acknowledged the pain she had caused. “I want to say how very sorry I am,” she said.
Smith’s attorney told the board that the prosecution was wrong about her alleged motive. “This is a mental health story,” he said. “This was not about another man. She was mentally ill.”
The only other people who were present to support Smith were her pastor and his wife.

Maybe the Democrats can run her in 2028. Planned Parenthood should love her.
I thought I read that she recently had said, (paraphrasing) “It was a long time ago. Get over it”.
Clearly. And Life w/o parole is her punishment.
Shouldn’t have done it in SC, Susie. California would have let you out long ago.
But abortionists get away with killing a baby who survives an abortion; I’m not condoning what she did, but just saying.
She was still coherent enough to plan the murders. Not buying the mentally ill thing at all.
While the Bible is always quoted as saying vengeance should be left to the lord, I wonder if Ms Smith ever read this one?
Leviticus 24:17
17 “ ‘Anyone who takes the life of a human being is to be put to death.“
California would let her poop on the streets when she got out too...
susan smith should have been executed decades ago ... period ...
How dispicable do you have to be to drown your small children?
Frankly, I’m surprised she hasn’t been shivved in prison, for trying to pin the murders on a black guy.
Without repentance there can be no salvation.
I know it's really fun and fashionable to hate on California because of our liberals here, but no we wouldn't have. She'd still be serving her life sentence here along with the rest of our double murderers.
Susan shouldn’t be unhappy. The guards are servicing her.
she did say “ just let me live my life”
She should live to 110 with all of her mental faculties.
This woman is the poster child for public hanging....
Me too...................
