Part 3/5:
Former solicitor Tommy Pope and current solicitor Kevin Bracket addressed the parole board today, asserting that Smith's conviction substantiated her knowledgeable engagement in the heinous act. The evidence also suggested that Smith's recent infractions while incarcerated—including illicit drug use and documenting her life for a film crew—demonstrated a lack of remorse for her past actions.
The Impact of the Denial
Following the parole board's decision, both solicitors expressed their relief and commitment to advocating for the victims’ family. Pope emphasized that the board's decision indicates a recognition of the gravity of the crime, and that she needs to continue her sentence.
