I didn't know that coke and heroin turned people into pedophilic kidnappers who murder their victims. /sarc

This creepo said all that with a straight face and crocodile tears.......I sort of hope his death sentence is carried out in the general population section of Floridas baddest prison.

[generally]

"he had taken large amounts of cocaine and heroin that day in hopes of killing himself"

He may have succeeded, depending on the sentence he receives.

[Jim Noble]

Request noted.

We have to check with Old Scratch, Mr. Smith, he's been working on something quite special for you, and he's ready now.

[liberte]

I am all for this, as long as we can arrange a suitable cellmate for him. Preferably large, and, um, "affectionate".

[MineralMan]

"he had taken large amounts of cocaine and heroin that day in hopes of killing himself."

Pity it didn't work. So, what did he do? He didn't succeed in killing himself, so he thought he'd abduct a girl, rape her, then kill her? Yeah, that follows....not.

On Sunday, February 1, 2004, in Sarasota, Florida, 11-year-old Carlie Jane Brucia was on her way home from a sleepover at her friend's house. Her step-father, Steve Kansler, was on his way to pick her up in route but never found her. Carlie, deciding to cut through a car wash not far from her home, was approached by a man and led away, never to be seen alive again. Carlie Remembered by her Grandmother... "She has been described as "blonde and bubbly" - Carlie was very affectionate - a great hugger - when she was in NY she loved to go to the movies  with her dad, go shopping and then go out for ice cream. Her favorite ice cream was mint chocolate chip - I always had that in the house for her when she visited. When she was at our house, she would shoot baskets in the  driveway with her Aunt Jeannie and play softball in the backyard with Aunt  Katelyn and the rest of the family. We would have barbeques and she loved  to toast marshmallows. When we were out at Montauk, Joe and Joey built a  huge bonfire and we toasted marshmallows at night while sitting along the beach

Carlie Brucia

- it is a beautiful memory - thinking of Carlie with her sticky fingers and  marshmallow all around her mouth - what a cutie! She liked music -  especially Jennifer Lopez (?) and knew all the words to every song on the radio  - that always surprised me! Carlie liked to help her dad out at home -  especially when he had the family over for dinner, she pitched right in and  helped with the serving and cleaning up - I can just picture her loading up the  dishwasher. She was a very good student and voted Most Popular and Math  Whiz at McIntosh Middle School."

So, if he intended to kill himself in the first place, what's the problem?..........

[GrandEagle]

in hopes of killing himself.
Well, lets help him out....

[ncountylee]

Smoke him!

[GrandEagle]

Of course, there might be some merit to life in prison. It would give "Bubba and the boys" some entertainment.

[Gay State Conservative]

A weeping Joseph Smith apologized Tuesday for the abduction, rape and murder of 11-year-old Carlie Brucia two years ago, telling a judge he had taken large amounts of cocaine and heroin that day in hopes of killing himself.

Don't worry,Joe...the people of the state of Florida have the courage to finish the job that you *claim* to have set out to accomplish.

Get acquainted (or reacquainted) with your Creator and make peace with Him,and you'll be fine.

Otherwise.......

[RushLake]

I think the court should give his plea for mercy as much weight as this creep gave little Carlie when she begged for her life. If she even had the chance to beg.

[RushLake]

"A weeping Joseph Smith apologized Tuesday for the abduction, rape and murder of 11-year-old Carlie...

Does this mean he's not going to apologize to the family when he is put to death assuming he gets the death penalty? Its always such a nice touch when they apologize....makes it all better, NOT!

[A Jovial Cad]

In all the myriad reasons why the Death Penalty should be available for certain criminal offenses, this one is Exhibit A.

May he rot in hell, after earthly justice is legally served.

[DustyMoment]

Joseph Smith pleads for life sentence

F him!! I'll bet Carlie Bruscia pleaded for her life, too!!

Cook this cowardly fecal matter - the sooner the better.

[SalukiLawyer]

If he lives, every night he can re-live the delicious memories of his rape and murder of the little girl in his sick fantasies. I don't think so.

[US_MilitaryRules]

Give him a noose to hang himself. The bastard. I have a daughter who is going to be 11 in a few months. Kill him.

[MEGoody]

A weeping Joseph Smith apologized Tuesday for the abduction, rape and murder of 11-year-old Carlie Brucia two years ago, telling a judge he had taken large amounts of cocaine and heroin that day in hopes of killing himself.

Well, lets just help him along.

[Little Ray]

Give his family closure, too - execute him.

Then his wife and kids can get on with their lives without having to visit this PoS in jail or get a divorce, etc.

[Billthedrill]

The only thing I can see to give me a life sentence is for my family. I do not want to see them hurt any further.

Aw, that's OK, Joe. It won't hurt a bit...
