Susan Smith to ask parole board for her freedom after serving 30 years for drowning her children.

Smith , 53 , is serving a life sentence after a jury convicted her of murder but decided not to sentence her to death.

She is eligible for a parole hearing every two years now that she has spent 30 years behind bars.

A decision to grant parole requires a two-thirds vote of board members present at the hearing.
