Finally Pamela Smart prison photos lawsuit is settled. Pamela Smart had filed the lawsuit when her almost nude pictures appeared in the National Enquirer. $23,875 payment has been approved for Pamela who’s serving life sentence for murder of Gregory, her husband through her teenage boyfriend William Flynn in 1991.

On Monday, a U. S. District Court Judge Robert Sweet has finally approved an overall $23,875 payment in favor of a 42-year-old woman named Pamela Smart against her claim of unfair treatment by the New York jail staff. The suit was filed in the year 2006 and both Pamela’s attorney Nicholas Booke and New York attorney general’s office were in pursuit of the issue since December 2008.

Pamela had claimed that the jail staff not only sexually assaulted her but also the photos that reached the tabloids, were allegedly shot by one of the guards involved in the incident. She further added that due to those pictures, she was forced to spend few weeks in a lockdown facility.

First Pamela made headlines in the year 1991 when she was convicted to persuade her teenage boyfriend to kill her husband Gregory. The then 16-year-old William Flynn acquired the help of his three allies and did the needful. Later he testified and briefed the police officials as to how Pamela had convinced him to get rid of Gregory, the one and only obstacle in their sexual relation they enjoyed for several months.

The total settlement payment of $23,875 will not be available to Pamela rather she’ll receive $8,750 while the rest will go to Nicholas Booke, in terms of attorney fees. However, Pamela will only be able to exercise her share of the settlement money after she’s through with her imprisonment. Therefore for the time being, the money goes to her inmate facility/departmental account at the correctional facility she’s serving her term.
