None of the men who have written to and spoken with sex-obsessed killer mom Susan Smith will testify on her behalf as she faces parole in the murder of her two sons, it has been revealed.
Smith, 53, drowned her sons Michael, three, and Alex, 14-months, in a South Carolina lake in 1994.
She was sentenced to life in prison with possibility of parole after 30 years and will make her case for release to the South Carolina Department of Probation, Parole, and Pardon Services board on Wednesday.
In order to be released, Smith will need at least a two-thirds majority of the panel to approve her application. She also needs to meet pre-release conditions which include employment, residence, programming and detainers, according to Court TV.
But Smith has been unable to find a single character witness to testify as a character witness - even as she flirts with four men from her jail cell.
'They all wanted just one thing out of her,' a relative of Smith's told the New York Post. 'But they didn't want to put their full names on the record to argue that she should get out of jail.'
The Post then contacted four men who regularly called and messaged her. Two did not return the reporters' calls, one hung up and another reportedly groaned when the reporter mentioned Smith's name.
'I am not going to stick my neck out for her and then have her run off with another guy,' the unidentified suitor, in his early 60s, sensa 69 told the outlet. 'I'm no chump.'

He said he learned that if he were to testify on Smith's behalf, his name and address would become public record.
'I don't need that s*** in my life,' he said.
Meanwhile, the Department of Probation, Parole and Pardon Services has now received more than 130 letters, with family members telling the Post that the majority of them oppose Smith's release.
Smith's ex-husband, David, and former prosecutor Tommy Pope also plan to testify at the hearing against her release.
He told Court TV that he has forgiven Smith, but does not want her released from prison.
'You have no idea of how much damage you have done to so many people,' he said.
Pope also said Smith's outrageous prison behavior shows she has not learned from her time behind bars.
'The belief was that she would spend her time thinking about Michael and Alex. It's clear she hasn't been thinking about Michael and Alex,' Pope told Greenville News.
'She's having sex with the guards and now got guys that want her on social media when she gets out of prison. She's not focused on remorse for the lives she took. I think she needs to continue to serve her sentence and serve it out forward.'
Smith reported her two sons missing in October 1994 and she and her husband (pictured) begged for their safe return on television
Smith had reported her two sons missing in October 1994 and told deputies the boys had been taken by an unidentified black man during a carjacking.
She wept on national television while her husband begged for their safe return, as police began a manhunt for the alleged kidnapper in predominantly African American neighborhoods.
But soon her story was picked apart, and Smith ultimately confessed to strapping the two boys into their car seat and watching the car roll into John D. Long Lake in Union County.
It was claimed she killed the boys after the man she was having an affair with, Thomas Findlay, broke up with her because he didn't want children.

Smith was ultimately sentenced to life in prison, where she allegedly started relationships with guards whom she would later accuse of sexual assault.
She has also had a series of infractions during her incarceration, including drug use, and self-mutilations.
Then, just weeks before she became eligible for parole, Smith was convicted of a prison disciplinary charge for communicating with a filmmaker from behind bars.
She was said to have been discussing her crimes, and providing contact information for friends, family and victims, including her former husband. The filmmaker also deposited money into Smith's account, police said.
If her application for parole is denied, she can apply again in two years. Data shows the board grants approximately 8 percent of parole requests for violent offenders.
