Pamela Smart Seeks a New Trial 36 Years After Her Husband's Murder | True Crime News

from Crime House 24/7 · host Crime House

In 1990, 22-year-old Pamela Smart's husband was shot in the head inside their New Hampshire home. Investigators soon learned Pamela — a media coordinator at a local high school — had been sleeping with a 15-year-old student, and had talked him into killing her husband. Her trial was the first murder trial in the country ever televised gavel to gavel. She got life without parole. This past week, at 58, Pamela was back in court arguing that the transcripts of the secret recordings that convicted her were inaccurate — and that she deserves a new trial. Vanessa walks you through the case, the trial, and what's happening now.If you’re new here, don’t forget to follow Crime House 24/7 to never miss a case!
