Carlie Brucia's Killer Faces Sentencing
Wednesday, March 15, 2006
SARASOTA, Fla. — The man convicted of abducting, raping and slaying 11-year-old is set to be sentenced today.
A jury recommended by a vote of ten-to-two that be executed. The judge in the case is required by law to give great weight to that recommendation when he makes his ruling.
During a hearing last month, Smith tearfully apologized for his crimes, telling the judge that he took large amounts of heroin and cocaine in an attempt to kill himself on the day he abducted Brucia in 2004.
Smith said he did not remember much about that day and asked the judge to spare him for the sake of his family.
The abduction of Brucia was caught by a security camera. Her body was found four days after her disappearance on the grounds of a church in Sarasota.

Whatever sentence he gets will be way more than he deserves.
He should get "death by Jack Bauer."

Napolitano on FNC says the judge must consider things like the helplessness of the victim, and the heinousness of the crime according to the FL statutes. Sounds to me as if the judge would have a hard time overriding the jury's recommendation for the death penalty.

Mr. Smith, my advice to you is to get a GPS, punch in the coordinates for "Hell", and then turn left at pit five.
