Susan infamously claimed her vehicle had been carjacked by a Black man in the early days of the investigation ... an accusation which Felicia says put Black men in the area in serious danger.

TMZ also spoke to Alfred Rowe this week -- the disgraced former prison guard who was fired for having a sexual relationship with Smith in 2001, and later convicted of the crime -- who shares Felicia's assessment of Smith ... saying Smith's emotion in front of the parole board was a total fabrication. Smith was moved from the Camille Graham prison as a result of the misconduct, to her current location, Leath Correctional Institution in South Carolina.
