Pamela Ann Smart born August 16, 1967, is serving a life sentence for accomplice to first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder and witness tampering.
On May 1, 1990, Smart came home from a work meeting to find her condominium ransacked and her husband murdered. Murder was rare in Derry, New Hampshire, and this would be the only murder investigation that year. Police officials say the crime scene looked like a disrupted burglary. Smart was later accused of seducing 15-year-old William &8220;Billy&8221; Flynn and threatening to stop having sex with him unless he killed her husband.
During the investigation, J.R. Lattime&8217;s father brought a .38 caliber pistol he had found in his house to the police, believing it might have been the murder weapon. An anonymous tip also indicated that a teenager named Cecilia Pierce was aware of the plan. Police talked to Cecilia, and she then agreed to wear a wire and record some conversations with Smart, in hopes that she would say something incriminating, which she did. On August 1, 1990, at 1:05 p.m., Detective Daniel Pelletier entered Smarts office unannounced. Smart recognized him, having spoken to him on at least six other occasions. Taken by surprise, she asked, Whats up? Well, Pam, Pelletier said in the recording, I have some good news and I have some bad news. The good news is that weve solved the murder of your husband. The bad news is, youre under arrest. What for? Smart asked. First-degree murder. Stand up and face the wall. Smart was then handcuffed having been arrested for the murder of her husband.
Smart is seeking a financial settlement from the state of New York. The New York attorney general&8217;s office is considering a settlement of Smart&8217;s 2006 lawsuit that accused prison officials of unfair treatment after scantily clad photos of her in a jail cell appeared in a 2003 issue of the National Enquirer. Smart claimed the pictures were taken by one of the prison guards who allegedly sexually assaulted her. According to court documents, Assistant Attorney General Maria Barous Hartofilis asked federal court Judge Robert W. Sweet for a two-month delay while the state considers the settlement offer for Smart that includes legal fees. The offer was made by Smart&8217;s attorney Nicholas Brook. In the lawsuit, Smart claims that after the photos appeared in the tabloid, she was forced to spend two months in a 23-hour-a-day lockdown after filing the complaint. Smart also spends her time pondering the loss of a life outside of prison and still maintains hope of having children. On November 5th, 2009, a U.S. District Court Judge countenanced 23,875 to Smart from the state of NY.
