Killer mom Susan Smith has been convicted of a new disciplinary charge after speaking with a documentary filmmaker, weeks before her first parole hearing. The 53-year-old, who was sentenced to life in prison in 1995 for murdering her two children, was charged with communicating with a victim/and or witness of crime on Aug. 26 and was convicted on Oct. 3, Chrysti Shain, director of communications with the South Carolina Department of Corrections, told Fox News Digital.
They also discussed Smith's crime in depth and the events leading up to and after it, including details like 'what was in the trunk of the car when it went into the water and her plans to jump from a bridge while holding the boys, but one woke up,' the incident report says. Smith lost her telephone, tablet and canteen privileges for 90 days, beginning Oct. 4. The charge is not a criminal one, but rather it is an internal disciplinary conviction.
inmates are issued tablets that are secured for correctional use. The tablets can be used to make monitored telephone calls and to send monitored electronic messages,' Shain said. 'They are considered a privilege. The department will determine when and if inmate Smith will earn the opportunity to be issued a tablet again.' Smith's phone conversations with the filmmaker are not the first calls she's made that have sparked attention.
Criminal defense attorney Philip Holloway previously told Fox News Digital that her chances of an early release are 'unlikely.'
