Susan Smith, at the age of 23 in 1994, decided that her husband and two sons presented an immovable barrier to her future happiness. So she strapped the boys into their seatbelts and let the car roll into a South Carolina lake.
It didn't take long for the cops to track her down. Now, 30 years into a life sentence, she appeared before the parole board yesterday to ask for a second chance at the life she denied 3-year-old Michael and 14-month-old Alex.
I'll bet it didn't take long for the board to rubber stamp DENIED all over her paperwork.
She asked the parole board to overlook the fact that she was caught doing the hibbidy-dibbidy with prison guards and that she, well, killed her children.“I know that what I did was horrible,” she tearfully told the board.
That's the biggest understatement since Mr. Otis thought his elevator might be a good idea.
You have to wonder if she seriously believed she had a chance to shop for turkey and all the fixin's this weekend. Next hearing: two years. She should live so long.
