Bad Love

Almost 15 years after (allegedly) seducing her teenage boyfriend into murdering her husband, Pam Smart sat down with MSNBC's Rita Cosby last week to reflect on the worst decision she's ever made - the affair with weaselly-moustached Billy Flynn that landed her in prison for life.

Despite her time served, Pam still maintains her innocence, insisting that she never asked Flynn to kill Greg Smart. In a way, you have to admire her gumption. Even though every one of her appeals has been rejected, and she will almost certainly spend her life behind bars, Smart has never admitted to planning the murder. Not only that, but she bristles when people refer to her as a teacher, insisting that she was a "media coordinator" - a role that she feels makes her sexual relationship with a 15-year-old student much more palatable.

Certainly, the recent release of accomplice Ray Fowler - and the knowledge that all four of the teenage killers will eventually be freed while she remains in prison - must be a hard pill to swallow.

But all these years later, has she learned anything from the experience?

"What people can learn from me... I guess..when your head is telling you something's wrong, that your head is right. Your head is usually right."

That's right, Pam. That's absolutely right.
