Billy Flynn, who pulled the trigger, was released in 2015.
He addressed the court then, once again, in tears.
Do you think about Billy Flynn, what he's doing, all the other guys?
What Pamela Smart did want to talk about when I interviewed her in 2017 was her sentence, life without parole.
That's the kind of question many criminal justice reform advocates are asking.
More and more states are rethinking mandatory sentencing and the value of life without parole.
A lot of forward progressive thinking governors are saying that this sentence is archaic.
It leaves no room for any real change in rehabilitation and redemption or mercy.
And if rehabilitation is the goal, Pamela Smart would say she's the poster child.
She's an inmate advocate, studies music, and she does this, praise dancing.
Friends who have stood by her are waging a social media campaign to get Pamela Smart out of prison.
They say it's unfair that the person who pulled the trigger and killed Greg Smart is free, while Pamela is not.
What's left is I have a petition in front of the New Hampshire governor.
I'm asking that my sentence be reduced to anything.
Why do you believe that you should be allowed to walk free?
In the past, members of Greg's family have said they oppose her release.
