Сузан Смит снова претендует на условно-досрочное освобождение
53-летняя Сузан Смит, отбывающая пожизненное заключение, снова стала кандидатом на условно-досрочное освобождение. В ноябре 2024 года комиссия уже отказала ей в выходе на свободу после 30 лет тюремного заключения, сославшись на тяжесть совершенного преступления и дисциплинарные нарушения в тюрьме.Преступление произошло 25 октября 1994 года в Юнионе, штат Южная Каролина. Тогда 22-летняя Смит пристегнула своих сыновей — трехлетнего Майкла и 14-месячного Александра — на заднем сиденье автомобиля и направила машину по рампе в озеро Джон Д. Лонг. Женщина наблюдала, как в течение шести минут автомобиль заполнялся водой и уходил на дно. В 1995 году она была признана виновной в убийстве; несмотря на требования обвинения приговорить её к смертной казни, суд назначил пожизненный срок.Одной из причин отказа в помиловании стало нарушение тюремных правил: в августе 2025 года Смит была обвинена в запрещенном общении с документалистом. В ходе судебного процесса по этому делу было установлено, что она нарушила правила связи с представителями СМИ. Следующее слушание по вопросу условно-досрочного освобождения назначено на 19 ноября 2026 года. Если в этот раз Смит снова откажут, она сможет подать новое прошение через два года.

Smith strapped her sons, 3-year-old Michael and 14-month-old Alexander Smith, into the back seat of her car and let it roll down a ramp into John D. Long Lake in Union, South Carolina, on Oct. 25, 1994.KILLER MOM SUSAN SMITH'S PAROLE BID INSPIRES 360 CORRESPONDENCES—SEE HOW MANY FAVOR HER FREEDOMSmith, 22 at the time, watched as it took six minutes for water to fill the car, drown her boys and sink the car to the bottom of the lake. She was convicted of the murders of her two children on July 22, 1995, and though prosecutors argued that Smith should receive the death penalty, she was ultimately sentenced to life in prison.LISTEN TO THE NEW 'CRIME & JUSTICE WITH DONNA ROTUNNO' PODCASTIn 2024, she was up for parole for the first time and was ultimately denied, with the board citing the nature and seriousness of the crime and Smith's institutional record of offenses.KILLER MOM SUSAN SMITH IS NOW 'COMPLETE NIGHTMARE' AFTER PAROLE WAS DENIED: REPORT "I know that what I did was horrible…I’m sorry that I put them through that...I wish I could take that back, I really do...I was just scared," she said during the hearing.LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING? FIND MORE ON THE TRUE CRIME HUBSmith's disciplinary record during her stint in prison was one of the reasons why she was denied a parole hearing in 2025.In August 2025, Smith was charged with communicating with a victim and/or witness of a crime for speaking with a documentary filmmaker, which was against prison rules, less than two weeks after she had told an unknown male over the phone that she "wouldn't talk" to the media.This was Smith's first disciplinary action in almost 10 years, and she was convicted of the charge on Oct. 3, 2025, Chrysti Shain, director of communications with the South Carolina Department of Corrections, previously told Fox News Digital. If her application for parole is denied this year, she can apply again in two years. Her latest hearing is set for Nov. 19, 2026.
