| 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.

I remember this case. If I was the boyfriend I would have been so gone. If you will kill your children to get with me, what is stopping you from snuffing me some night. Her story sounded fake on day one.
