YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Thirty years after she killed her two children, Susan Smith is now eligible for parole, raising the question of whether she will get out of prison. NewsNation's "Banfield" revisits evidence from her trial, including the view from the car seats of Michael and Alex in the back of Smith’s Mazda sedan as she rolled it into South Carolina’s John D. Long Lake, leaving them strapped inside. During the trial, investigators recreated the scene using cameras inside and outside Smith’s actual car, capturing the act from the perspective of her young sons.
