| Susan Smith was convicted of murdering her children on July 22, 1995. |
Susan Smith falsely reports that a Black man carjacked her vehicle with her two young sons inside. In fact, Smith had murdered both her children by driving her car into a South Carolina lake. After nine days of media frenzy, Smith admitted the truth and was arrested for murder.
At her trial, her defense tried unsuccessfully to persuade the jury that the killings resulted from mental illness. She was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison.
