    COLUMBIA, S.C. (WSPA) — A Union County woman convicted of drowning her children 30 years ago will appear before a parole board next month.

    The South Carolina Department of Probation, Parole, and Pardon Services announced on Monday that Susan Smith will appear for a parole hearing on Wednesday, Nov. 20.

    Smith was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of her children in Oct. 1994. As part of her sentencing, she became automatically eligible for parole this year.

    South Carolina mom convicted of killing her children charged after speaking with filmmaker

    She is currently incarcerated at Leath Correctional Institution in Greenwood.

    Last week, the Department of Corrections said Smith had been charged after she reportedly spoke to a documentary filmmaker about her case.

    According to the Department of Corrections, Smith agreed to provide the filmmaker with contact information for friends, family and victims, including her ex-husband.

    How could she get a parole hearing? Her boys doesn’t get a second chance. She gets to keep a picture of them . She is a true psychopath. Keep her in jail her kids deserve lifetime justice.
