If you have ever seen interviews with her, she clearly has a personality disorder. Sad her ex husband had to be the victim of it.

That's the deal: she shows no remorse. She should be in prison for life.

Bring on the down votes but she recently took responsibility for her actions. The 30 years she did was her life. Why keep paying to house her?
ILikeCrabbyRobots t1_je9dutb wrote
Because life in prison without parol means just that.

She has not. All she has accepted responsibility for was cheating on her husband. She’s still pretending she wasn’t complicit in his killing.

we can agree to disagree “I have now spent over 31 years in prison, more than half my life. I apologize to the entire Smart family, my own family, and all who were directly or indirectly impacted by my actions and misjudgment," she wrote. "For many years, I blamed others for my incarceration because I was immature, selfish and proud. I refused to see my own role in Gregg's death. … It took years, even decades, for me to accept responsibility, and I must carry that burden."

Life without parole should be life without parole. What a waste of time for the state to have to respond to each of these desperate attempts to undo the verdict.

She’s been doing this every couple years since before they kicked her out of the New Hampshire state prison for women

She gave her husband a lifelong sentence. She gave herself one in the process.

Gee, who knew that having an extramarital affair with a 15 year old could go so horribly wrong? /s

Good. Life sentence is just that.
What a waste of time for the state to have to deal with this scum.

Dude. She still won't admit she put the kids up to it. Before reading McTrollski's (who has WAY more knowledge about the crime and Pam's behavior after it than is being released) I was of the opinion that if she fully confesses and does a few more years, let her out. But after reading his input, eff her.

Yeah, McTrollski really came in clutch on that one.

Probably for calling her a slut, it’s not wrong for women to like sex. It is wrong for women to cheat on their husbands.
But also, did you know why she had to be sent to New York from the New Hampshire state prison for women? She kept having sex with everybody 😂😂 she was on D tier which was the “max” block in Goffstown. It’s just a square room with windows at one end, a locked door and a shower at the other end and then cells lining each side. In the middle of the room was a pool table.
So the windows faced the back of the prison where the kitchen deliveries would come, and every time there was a delivery Pam would get up on the pool table to dance for them I guess. So one day she did this kick move and ended up kicking the rail off the pool table breaking it, so they had to take the pool table away. I think she was on D tier because she was having sex with women so she got put in “lock up” but then she kept getting caught having sex with women on D tier so they shipped her out.

Being a slut is probably the most endearing thing about her. I went to School with Greg, my wife went to Pinkerton with Pam. I think getting Gang Banged by the football team and having sex with minors is in a different class than a woman who enjoys sex. She pushed my future wife down the stairs in School. Had her Husband murdered. Was heard at the bar talking about the Firebird she was going to buy with the life insurance money prior to her arrest, because that's what good people do days after their spouse is executed:/ She is what happens to bullies when they go unchecked. Pure evil and right where she belongs
[deleted] t1_je7iliv wrote
Also went to PA. Same crowd, but NOT friends with her. We hated each other. I got married around the same time as her and remember seeing her at a few bridal shows and being astounded that someone was actually marrying her. Can confirm. She was an awful, mean person who thought very highly of herself and slept around. Let her rot.
McTrollski t1_je7mbly wrote
Anyone who says otherwise never met her and has no idea what they are talking about. This is one of the few times someone got exactly what they deserve.

Let me get this straight. This moron convinced a TEENAGER to murder her husband....and she wants her sentence reduced?
In my view the executive council, governor, and Supreme Court did whats right. She got what she deserved. I have no sympathy.

Smart (an adult) groomed and sexed a 15 year old to get him to kill her husband; In addition to having her husband killed she's a predator, a sex offender. What does she not understand about her sentence of life without the possibility of parole? Her prison achievements of masters degrees and minister credentials are not a magic method of tossing her sentence of LWOP. Gregg Smart was just 24 years old when she had him murdered yet she bangs on about "when is enough - enough", how incredibly entitled and arrogant this woman is. Her LWOP sentence handed down by the court needs to be served until completion.

Did they consider it long enough for the princess? Is she OK with how long it took to keep her ass in jail?

The boys are all out of prison, why hasn't she been put into a halfway house by now? Execute her if you're not going to release her and save the taxpayers some money. I was personally in prison (in N.H.) with someone who beat two gay guys to death with his bare hands and served his 26 year life sentence and was paroled. He wasn't sorry, he wasn't remorseful, and he was more of an animal than she ever was.
RickyDiezal t1_je6ud6d wrote
Because that was the sentence handed down to the person you're talking about.
Her sentence was life without the possibility of parole. Full stop. Of course our legal system has loads of way to appeal or otherwise change a sentence, so that's what we're hearing about here.
Executing people is generally more expensive than incarcerating them for life. Death row inmates are basically entirely separated from gen-pop, and have their own cells, guards, medical staff, etc. (Almost) Everyone on death row appeals the hell out of their death sentence, which usually ends up costing the state a lot more in the long run in terms of court fees.
Also, NH no longer has the death penalty, so if they wanted to retry and execute her (would never happen) I don't think they even could.
Also, this case is/was a national spectacle. All eyes were on the prosecutors and they must have decided that life without parole was a better optic than the death sentence.

Times have changed is all I'm saying. I was locked up with one of the guys when we were kids, and I can assure you there was joking and laughing about what he had done. She has paid her debt.

I mostly agree with you. Life without parole is a cruel and unusual form of capital punishment, and I suspect I’ll see the day the courts abolish it. I really loathe how much we try to dress up the death penalty and make it look civilized. Every time we’ve done this, we’ve only made it worse. The electric chair was worse than hanging or the firing squad. Lethal injection is worse than the chair. Solitary confinement for 23.5 hours a day at ADX is perhaps the most sadistic capital punishment that humans have ever invented. Even the Spanish Inquisition would think we’re monsters for that. No one expects the Spanish Inquisition to torture them for more than a day before they expired…
If it were up to me, the only death sentence would be a public hanging shortly after sentencing, that the prosecutor, judge, and all jurors must attend. They better be damn sure that the condemned did the crime, without even a reasonable doubt, and the punishment better fit the crime. If they can’t stomach the sentence they dished out, fine the hell out of them and/or disbar them, and that person’s sentence is now 25 to life.
Capital punishment is an ugly thing. If we’re gonna do it, stop hiding the ugliness of it. The State is killing a person. No amount of procedural nonsense can wash the blood off our hands.
But if we abolish life without parole on these constitutional grounds, it would be a severe miscarriage of justice to summarily execute them. Especially when you hear the stories of black people who received that sentence in Florida for a robbery because of some terrible analogy to baseball… They would either need a new trial to be condemned to death, or be made eligible for parole. And just because they’re eligible for parole doesn’t mean they’ll get it.

Honestly, I think she has learned her lesson and should be paroled. I don't think its fair to punish her forever for something that happened so long ago and something her co-conspirators have already been released for.

She’s responsible for ending her husband’s life and ruining the lives of the four teenaged boys she enlisted to help her… the council rejected her petition because they said that she hadn’t accepted full responsibility for her actions.
