South Carolina’s new governor is denying Oprah Winfrey a prison interview she’s been trying to score for a decade with a woman who drowned her two young sons, then blamed the crime on a black man.
Susan Smith is serving a life sentence for killing 3-year-old Michael and 14-month-old Alex in 1994 by strapping them into their car seats and driving the car into a pond. She has not been interviewed since being charged. On Wednesday’s show, a Winfrey staffer said she has been trying to arrange an interview.
