Pamela Smart Speaks Out

PAGE 4
Flynn and two of the boys, Vance "J.R." Lattime and Patrick "Pete" Randall, took a plea bargain and pled guilty to second-degree murder. The third accomplice, Raymond Fowler, pled guilty to conspiracy to commit murder. Then, Flynn and his friends dropped a bombshell—the boys told the police that murdering Gregg was all Pamela's idea.
"There was a lot of speculation and people were saying, 'Listen, you're going to get arrested,' but I wasn't even worried about it because I knew I hadn't done anything," Pamela says to Lisa. "If they do arrest me, they're going to find out I didn't do anything, and I'm just going to go home."
Pamela was arrested and charged with conspiracy to murder her husband. It was a scandal the media couldn't get enough of.
Pamela: It was a complete circus. The media was everywhere. Nobody was swarming me because they wanted to catch a photo of someone they adore. They were swarming because they thought I was a cold-blooded killer.
Lisa: You were painted as this vixen who seduced this teenage boy and was complicit in the murder of your husband. Once those are in the headlines, how does anyone perceive you as anything but that?
Pamela: They don't.
