Lawyer: Pamela Smart, serving life sentence, asks for hope

Pamela Smart comes into court at the Rockingham Superior Court House in Exeter, New Hampshire on Friday, March 22, 1991, where she was found guilty on all three charges related to her involvement in the murder of her husband Gregory Smart. A lawyer for Pamela Smart, who's serving a life-without-parole sentence for plotting with her teenage lover to kill her husband in 1990 says a state council "brushed aside" her request for a chance at freedom, and he's asked New Hampshire's highest court to order the panel to reconsider it.
