Her Own Words On A Hidden Wire Got Her Convicted


What the hell does media coverage have to do with anything?
Pam claimed, and still does, that all the incriminating things she was caught saying on the hidden wire, was simply her acting like she new more than she did, in order to get to the truth of who killed Greg.
But WHAT she actually says on the tapes, and how she says them, are the most telling.
At no point, does Pam EVER make any inquiries about the killing, or ask the girl ANYTHING on the tapes.
To the contrary, she actually says the opposite, by stressing how important it is, for everyone to get their stories straight, and keep their mouths shut!
Never on the tapes does she say anything about being innocent!

Hello ron spacey - first of all, you are absolutely correct. However, if you were to say this to Pamela Smart - her reply would be that you were only hearing part of the conversation so you couldn't have completely understood it. I have been interested in Pam SMart and always watch whatever program that comes on that involves her. In every single program, going all the way back to the first one which was produced in 1996, she tells the exact same story. ANd, in every single program, she stumbles in the same spot - the Cecilia Pierce tapes. And when I say stumble, I mean, its always at that point that you can tell shes lying. I really have no idea why the girl just doesnt come clean. Notice how no Innocence Projects ever get involved in trying to help her? She just continues to make herself more and more hated. Or, then of course there is the other possibility - that being that at this point, 27 years after the crime, even she has forgotten the truth. Although, I must say I don't buy that. Pamela is bright, no doubt about that- I believe she has just convinced herself of an alternative reality. Problem is only about 4-5 people on the entire planet buy it. Shed be better off just owning up to her part in the crime. With that said, a final comment, I still believe she has served enough time for what she did wrong and should be set free.

Agreed, her story story falls apart whenever she tries to convince people that she was aware of the tapes and playing a cat and mouse game herself which was edited/unclear. It's laughable! And you can tell just watching her get through that bs story, she knows what a stretch it is to believe any of it, but it's the best she can do.
