Smith has her first parole listening to set for Nov. 4.
Pope says actions have penalties … and whereas psychological well being points generally is a think about circumstances of taking somebody’s life, he thinks Susan’s resolution to drown her younger youngsters simply to stick with a person who didn’t need youngsters was an excessive instance of selfishness.
He provides he is pushing to maintain Susan locked up for all times, which he firmly believes is what the jury needed within the first place.
Pope says, underneath South Carolina regulation, the trial decide couldn’t let the jury know Susan could be eligible for parole once they determined her destiny … so he thinks once they gave her life in jail, they needed life with out parole.
He is satisfied the jury opted for all times so Susan would spend the remainder of her days reflecting on what she did to her youngsters. She was convicted of strapping her two younger sons into her automobile and driving it right into a lake, watching them drown, then telling police she had been carjacked, hindering the investigation for greater than every week.
