Pamela Smart, serving life, accepts full responsibilty for husband's death in videotaped statement
Deccan ChronicleCONCORD, N.H : Pamela Smart, who is serving life in prison for plotting with her teenage student to have her husband killed in 1990, accepted full responsiblity for his death for the first time in a videotaped statement released Tuesday as part of her latest sentence reduction request. Smart, 56, was a 22-year-old high school media coordinator when she began an affair with a 15-year-old boy who later shot and killed her husband, Gregory Smart. Smart said in the statement that she began to “dig deeper into her own responsibility” through her experience in a writing group, that “encouraged us to go beyond and to spaces that we didn't want to be in. “For me that was really hard, because going into those places, in those spaces is where I found myself responsible for something I desperately didn't want to be responsible for, my husband's murder,” she said, her voice quavering.
