Secondly, Smith wants to argue that she was not in her right mind as a young mom — and that she may have suffered from undiagnosed mental illness.
She was a 22-year-old mom when she let her car roll into John D. Long Lake in Union County, South Carolina, with her boys — 3-year-old Michael and 14-month-old Alexander — still strapped into their car seats.
It’s an argument Smith has used before. “I am not the monster society thinks I am,” she wrote in a letter from jail to reporters at The State in 2015.
“Something went very wrong that night. I was not myself. There was no motive as it was not even a planned event. I was not in my right mind.”

She claims she was not in her right mind and that she is now so she should be let free. But she has a history of drug and sex infractions behind bars. Not a model prisoner.
Tex Watson gets paroled before this chick.
How about No.
No?
Die in prison you nasty piece of filth.
Should have been hanged.
Let me live my life… exactly why she killed her kids.
Hmmmmm...
...NO.
[[‘Just let me live my life’ ]]
Sure, IN PRISON!
Your kids didn’t get to live their lives! Actions have consequences-
She is living her life, just keep going, honey.
I watched the Sex Behind Bars documentary. Clearly she had too much time on her hands and was lonely. Both guards were easily seduced. I don’t really blame her for those infractions.
Sounds like a low grade psychopath. I’m sure the democrat party would welcome her home.
Even if she were paroled, how would she live? Would anyone hire her? Would anyone really want to be her friend or involved with her?
I don’t see how one ever lives down what she did.
I’d be fine if her life consisted of strapping her into a minivan and rolling it in to the lake.
She is hardly different from abortion fiends, just that her timing was a little off.
As I remember she tried to blame it on the local black community. They should have turned her over to a group of 100 really angry black women. A reverse color lynching.
The issue is not whether or not Susan Smith is a monster; the issue is that Susan Smith did a monstrous thing and must atone for it.
Maybe she could get a job providing home care for an old man.
She just wants to grow old in a middle class neighborhood
Right. You were probably the person your kids looked up to and trusted the most. You were likely the one your kids had the most emotional connection to. In the ultimate betrayal, as the one most charged with protecting them and loving them - you violated that trust and stood there and watched as they drowned. Their last moments were likely filled in pure terror as they were trapped in their carseats and left to die.
Rather than turning yourself in and stating you had a problem, you needed help - you trotted out a racist trope that a black man stole your kids. All these years later you still haven’t accepted responsibility.
You are worse than the monster you perceive society believes you to be. Be grateful for prison and not mob justice.
Of course she’s been well-behaved. There aren’t any kids behind bars for her to kill.
