Pamela Smart, serving life sentence, accepts responsibility for her husband’s 1990 killing for the first time CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Pamela Smart, who is serving life in prison for plotting with her teenage student to have her husband killed in 1990, accepted full responsibility for his death for the first time in a videotaped statement released Tuesday as part of her latest sentence reduction request. Smart, 56, was a 22-year-old high school media coordinator when she began an affair with a 15-year-old boy who later fatally shot her husband, Gregory Smart, in Derry, New Hampshire. The shooter was freed in 2015 after serving a 25-year sentence. Though Pamela Smart denied knowledge of the plot, she was convicted of being an accomplice to first-degree murder and other crimes and sentenced to life without parole. Smart has been incarcerated for nearly 34 years. In the videotaped statement, she said she began to “dig deeper into my own responsibility” through her experience in a writing group that “encouraged us to go beyond and to spaces that we didn’t want to be in.”
