Pamela Smart, convicted of plotting her husband's murder with a high school student more than three decades ago, took responsibility for her role in the murder in her latest request to shorten her life sentence.
"I found myself responsible for something I desperately didn't want to be responsible for – my husband's murder," Smart said in a videotaped statement included with her petition and shared with USA TODAY.
