Pam Smart: Another Chance at Freedom?

iHeartPodcasts and CrimeOnline
About this episode

Appeals exhausted, Pamela Smart files a petition to compel the governor and Executive Council to reconsider giving her a commutation hearing. This too,  fails. The  state Supreme Court unanimously dismissed the petition for lack of jurisdiction.

Smart was convicted of conspiracy to murder in the June 1, 1990, shooting death of her 24-year-old husband in their Derry condominium.

The then teen trigger-man and accomplices who killed Pamela Smart's husband have been released from jail, but she, the mastermind, will remain locked up.
