This is the story of a forbidden relationship between a teacher & her student that ended in murder. In 1990, Pamela Smart’s name was splashed across national headlines as the country heard about how the 22-year-old who worked at a local New Hampshire high school began an illicit affair with her 16-year-old student. The student & three of his classmates were charged with murdering her 24-year-old husband of less than one year. Gregg Smart’s murder trial was one of the first in the U.S. to be broadcast on live TV which caused an absolute media frenzy. The case went on to inspire the 1995 movie starring Nicole Kidman & Joaquin Phoenix, To Die For.
