Smith has her first parole listening to set for Nov. 4.
Pope says actions have penalties … and whereas psychological well being points is usually a think about instances of taking somebody’s life, he thinks Susan’s determination to drown her younger children 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 wished within the first place.
Pope says, underneath South Carolina legislation, 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 wished life with out parole.
