Smart is serving a life sentence and accepted responsibility in a videotaped statement released Tuesday as part of her latest sentence reduction request.
By Kathy McCormack, Associated PressIn a image taken from May 1, 2024 video, provided by Hard Working Movies, Pamela Smart makes a statement at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility in Bedford Hills, N.Y. Smart, who is serving life in prison for plotting with her teenage student to have her husband killed in 1990, accepted full responsibility for his death for the first time in a videotaped statement released Tuesday, June 11, 2024, as part of her latest sentence reduction request.
Smart has been incarcerated for nearly 34 years. In the videotaped statement, she said she began to “dig deeper into my own responsibility” through her experience in a writing group that “encouraged us to go beyond and to spaces that we didn’t want to be in. Pamela Smart answers questions from the defense in her murder conspiracy trial, March 18, 1991, in Rockingham County Superior Court in Exeter, N.H.
“New Hampshire’s process for commutation or pardon requests is fair and thorough,” Sununu’s office said in a statement. “Pamela Smart will be given the same opportunity to petition the Council for a hearing as any other individual.” “I made excuses, dismissed my own involvement, and blamed everyone else but myself,” Smart wrote in her letter to Sununu. Because she wasn’t there the night of the murder and didn’t pull the trigger, she thought she wasn’t responsible, saying she “became comfortable in my warped logic.”Smart’s longtime lawyer, Mark Sisti, said the petition was filed last week.
