Susan Smith's ex-husband 'spoke' to murdered children prior to hearing | Banfield

David Smith, the ex-husband of Susan Smith and father of the two boys she murdered, expressed "much relief" upon learning that Susan had been denied parole. Susan Smith was convicted of two counts of murder in 1994 after allowing her car to roll into a South Carolina lake with her sons, Michael and Alex, inside. In the days leading up to the parole hearing, David shared that he had "spoken" to his sons in his own way. "We had a lot of discussions," he revealed exclusively on Banfield. "Time heals some wounds. But for me, personally, time does not heal the loss of a child," Smith said. #SusanSmith #Banfield Ashleigh Banfield is the definitive authority on the nation’s biggest true crime stories.
