Pame (pronounced "Pam-me") Smart was convicted in March 1991 of capital murder, largely as a result of the testimony of her accomplices, and sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole for her role as the primary conspirator. She was accused of seducing a 15-year-old boy, William Flynn, and threatening to leave him unless he killed her husband. Flynn did so with the help of three friends on May 1, 1990. Smart met Flynn when she worked as the media teacher at Winnacunnet High School in Hampton, New Hampshire.

To this day, Smart proclaims her innocence at the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility for Women in New York State. Her attorney, Albert Johnson of Boston, Massachusetts, is handling her current case before a federal appeals court. He handled other high-profile cases including Patricia Hearst's.

Smart's trial was widely watched and was likened to a "media circus", one of the first of its kind prior to the O. J. Simpson trial. The trial spawned a television movie starring Helen Hunt and inspired the film To Die For starring Nicole Kidman.

The case was also the subject of several best-selling true crime books including Teach Me To Kill and Deadly Lessons.

Pamela Smart graduated from the Florida State University prior to the murder and has completed two masters degrees since her incarceration.

Pamela has exhausted all appeals and has pleaded to the Executive Council of New Hampshire for a pardon to her sentence. She has recently claimed indirect responsibility for Greg's murder by admitting that if she had not had an affair with Billy Flynn, Flynn would not have murdered Greg.
