After Spending More Than Three Decades in Prison for Her Involvement in Her Husband’s Murder, ‘20/20’ Interviews Pamela Smart and Shares a Shocking Admission Following Decades of Denial

Pamela and Gregg Smart appeared to be a loving couple with an idyllic life in the small, peaceful town of Derry, New Hampshire. But one year after getting married, Gregg was found dead in the home they shared. A two-hour “20/20” details the series of events that quickly connected the dots for authorities, allowing them to make several arrests, including charges against Pamela as an accomplice to first-degree murder and against others. Her trial was the first murder trial in U.S. history to be broadcast gavel-to-gavel on television, as she was sentenced to life in prison without parole. For three decades, Pamela maintained her innocence, but in a stunning recent turn of events while serving her sentence in prison, Pamela shares a shocking revelation regarding her involvement in her husband’s murder. ABC News’ Juju Chang revisits the case and shares the latest developments on “20/20,” Friday, Aug. 16 (9:01-11:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC, next day on Hulu. (Rebroadcast. OAD: 1/10/2020)
