Defendant Pamela Smart Takes the Stand (Court TV Archive, 1991) 

I read somewhere that this was the first trial with cameras in the courtroom - 30 years ago!

​@@millville Same

Thank you for watching!

Me too

Time to release her, others spend less time in jail for a whole hell of a lot more! Let’s see how she does on the outside with all these world changes. Make her a science project 😅

That's 1991 for ya

@@andi.4pf No. He was 16, age of consent in New Hampshire, when sex took place.

@@denisenoe7746 oh okay I didn’t realize that

@andi.4pf Flirting began when he was 15. In any case, it was irresponsible and stupid and ended horribly.

@@denisenoe7746 agreed

I almost was with a similar teacher (almost) much worse than Pamela Smart. 4th grade, I was 9 years old (1981). She came over to our home (apartment) to talk to my parents and I. She considered me her "favorite student", I was sitting on couch and she sat beside me. Put her arm around me. Parents didnt act/say nothing wrong (heck never never learned what would happen). She was transferring to another school same district and wanted to take me with her. She would take care all of paperwork and approval. Only needed my parents approval. They saw nothing wrong and immediately approved. It was at the second school that she attempted something. We were alone in class and she asked me to approach her. I saw she unbuttoned her blouse and her bra was obvious. She took my hand, pulled me toward her and tried to have me touch her breast. I quickly pulled away upset even drawing tears. I didnt realized she locked two opposite classroom doors. I was rattling the doors, she quickly unlocked the doors. However after using cleanex to wipe my face. She said "calm down please, you can tell anyone about this 'WE' will both get in trouble. Later that day she drove me home and placed her right hand on my high rubbing it. Didnt approach my privates. Nothing more happened. But saw her 4 years later in 8th grade different school of course. She turned WHITE when she recognized me in class as a substitute. After class I approached her and said "I didnt tell anyone. She replied near crying "thank you". "9 YEARS OLD!"

@@davidfrederick6003😮😮😮

If Not so Smart Pam got life without parole, what makes her think if she takes responsibility she will get out.... idk if she can change her sentence....

Agreed

@the-finn she actually didn't really take responsibility. She's just saying what she thinks she needs to say to be released. She saying she's "responsible" without saying what she actually did that makes her responsible. She didn't even mention Greg's name! Not even once! This is her way of claiming responsibility to better her chances of being released while giving a wink-wink to her supporters that she's not "really" responsible. She is an arrogant, conniving liar, and she thinks we're all as dumb and gullible as her teenage patsies were.

This past year she has taken responsibility for the murder of her husband.

@@Pink_143_6 It might be a ploy of hers to get her sentence commuted or get parole - like a plea deal 30 years after the murder! Or maybe prison has truly helped her to become sane?

Exactly. She's still the same narcissist sociopath as ever.

She is slowly (34 years) starting to admit her involvement but no one is going to give her parol if it took you this long to admit after finally doing a deeper dive, you might have been more involved than you told everyone….life with no parol Pam….maybe in another 34 years you will admit you were the mastermind

Seriously? Well you're entitled to your opinion and no judgment here, I'm curious why you feel that way? I thought she recently admitted to being involved?

So true !!

Sociopaths have no feelings. Narcissists have no feelings. She's both.

That her Yankee accent.

She's in bullshot mode.....

@@Valeriemcgilvreyno it’s not her accent. She had a very cold, robotic way of speaking.

She nervous and self-conscious. That makes her come off as kind of cold. She's really trying to hold herself together.

With a lie

I agree

I think she is up for parole...Susan Smith as well , up for parole.

@@mickymitts3031 Pam Smart exhausted her judicial appeal options when she returned her third petition to the Executive Council seeking a sentence reduction hearing in 2022. The council's rejection prompted her subsequent appeal to the Supreme Court which also dismissed her petition last year. They said ordering the elected board to reconsider their decision would violate New Hampshire's separation of powers. A cousin of Gregory Smart stated Pam continues to dance around the issue surrounding Greg's death. After all this time she only recently stated she accepts responsibility due to a writing class that has helped her to apparently draw out her feelings; however, Greg's cousin also brings out that she still flat out refuses to discuss and admit to any of the facts that make her fully responsible for Greg Smarts death. So she continues to serve a sentence of life without parole at the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility in Westchester County, New York. Billy Flynn was granted parole at the age of 41 in March 2015. Flynn’s three co-conspirators have also all been released from prison.

@@mickymitts3031 Pam doesn't get parole hearings. She's trying to get a MEETING to talk about her "responsibility." She'll never get out.

@@mickymitts3031 that's what I know to be true too

Yep. She slept with Billy Flynn in order to get him to murder Gregg. As Greggs Dad said, She was the Kingpin. The kids were Pawns. Just all so sad .

Yes, she does

Mine too!

The only thing good about Court tv is Vinnie ..

Thank you for watching!

They weren't trapped.....Greg didn't know how she felt...

They weren’t trapped… they hadn’t even been married that long and they had both cheated.

That's her prison story ....she only recently came up with these excuses.....Bill was manipulated ....

Listen to the tape when Ceceila spoks to her, she knew exactly who killed him.....

Cecelia had nothing to gain from her testimony....

ohh! Keep Checking Out the Community Tab for Weekly Posts - hint hint, wink wink!

The tape tells all

😎

Good acting

She had so much going for her as a young woman , Attractive, a career, good family, friends .... Why she threw it all away is such a shame for everyone involved. Sad. This devastated Greggs family. I don't think they were ever the same. Simply tragic.

No not truthful

Yes

Yes. I heard her say other day she takes full responsibility. She wrote a letter to the gov I think and her idea of getting out I think. She looks very old!! 56 but goodness!! She needs to stay in prison.

On June 11, 2024, as part of an effort to get a sentence reduction, a videotaped statement was released where for the first time ever, Smart accepted responsibility for her husband's death. She claimed her taking responsibility was done as part of some inner work she was doing on herself.

She made the news by accepting responsibility

People change when they get older.But killers shouldn't have a chance to change.

@@maanmohammad8459 ha! No one changes when they get older. They get worse.

He sold insurance Greg had a one night stand she calls an affair..SHE had an affair with a kid ...

Have you ever considered she lied about his cheating???

That's a nice way of putting things, thank you.

Have you heard the tapes ??? Oh yeah, she planned it. Flynn did it he owned up to it.

He who??

She was recently married.The husband was ambushed by the boyfriend who was one of her students.If memory serves me right,they were 2 boys and one girl.But can't remember if both boys were in the house.All for 100k.Eventually the girl recorded her.Back then it wasn't as often as now that one hear about women killing their significant other.

She was 22
