Inside Edition for Monday, July 14, 2025

30 years after she was convicted for drowning her little boys in her car, Susan Smith is asking a South Carolina parole board to free her from prison. Three decades ago at her press conference seen round the world, Smith cried crocodile tears, now people are again accusing her of faking her emotions. And when athletes make a touchdown or score a goal, they often do a little celebratory move. But lately those post score celebrations look an awful lot like that quirky dance President-elect Trump does. Now the NFL is officially weighing in - saying they've got no problem with it.  Plus, funeral services were held outside of London today for singer Liam Payne. It was a private service, attended by friends and family, his One Direction bandmates - and Simon Cowell, who formed the band nearly fifteen years ago. He was in tears.  And no one likes getting traffic tickets, but most people just pay the fine and try to do better next time. Not this guy. He set fire to a house that he thought belonged to the trooper who pulled him over. Turns out it was the trooper's father's house.
