Susan Smith may have made a tearful plea before being was denied parole this weekbut many remain unconvinced that he has completely changed his ways … including another one of his former prison guards who knew him well behind bars.
Felicia MungoThe former guard at South Carolina’s Camille Graham Correctional Center tells TMZ he’s not sold on Susan’s tears, explaining to us that the crying felt a little “dishonest” during the audition.
For those unfamiliar, Susan was arrested in 1994 after taping her sons; Michaelwhich was 3 years old, and Alex:who was 14 months old, sat in his car seat before pushing the car into a nearby lake. He was convicted in 1995 and sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole … which he was eligible for for the first time this week.
Felicia says she’s still conflicted. Mungo monitored Susan’s suicide watch during the 1995 murder trial and recalls the inmate being “very sad, very remorseful” in prison…often revealing nightmares she had. was about reaching out to her late children.
However, Felicia doesn’t think Susan is truly remorseful for her wrongdoings and hasn’t grasped the full magnitude of the situation…citing her lack of remorse for past racist behavior as an example.
Susan infamously claimed that her car was carjacked by a black man in the early days of the investigation…an allegation that Felicia says puts black men at serious risk.
TMZ too spoke to Alfred Rowe this week, the disgraced former prison guard who was fired in 2001 for having sex with Smith and later convicted of the crime; total production. Smith was moved from Camille Graham Prison to his current location, South Carolina’s Leith Correctional Facility, due to misconduct.
Of course, there’s Susan’s ex-husband David: to think about … who was very vocal in his opposition to his possible parole at Wednesday’s hearing.
Felicia thinks Susan will get out eventually… but thinks the murderous mother should really regret it everything before being released.
He reminds us that Susan is up for parole again in 2 years…and maybe she’ll get more sympathetic advice next time.
