Pamela Smart has finally accepted responsibility for her husband's murder for the first time - 34 years after instructing her 15-year-old lover to shoot him.  Smart, 56, who is serving life in prison for plotting with her teen student to have her husband killed in 1990, accepted full responsibility in a videotaped statement released Tuesday as part of her latest sentence reduction request. This comes just four years after Smart doubled down on her claim that she did not mastermind her husband's death.
