LUCASVILLE, Ohio One family wept loudly and another family cheered Wednesday as a man was executed for killing a 6-month-old as he raped her.
Steve Smith, 46, was executed by lethal injection at the state prison in Lucasville in southern Ohio for the 1998 killing of his live-in girlfriend's daughter, Autumn Carter, in Mansfield.
Smith had recently tried to get his sentence reduced to life in prison, arguing that he was too drunk to realize that his assault was killing Autumn and that he didn't mean to hurt her. The Ohio Parole Board and Gov. John Kasich turned him down unanimously.

"The constitution forbids cruel and unusual punishment, but Id be willing to waive it in this case." Out of respect for killers like this, I think "cruel and unusual" should be given flexible definitions to accomodate the means by which they killed. For example, in this dirtbag's case, raping a 6 month old to death made perfect sense; consequently, his being raped to death by a herd of wild horses should be deemed by the courts to be perfectly reasonable.

I’m shocked. An execution took place in a state other than Texas? And it’s not even a southern one? Shocking! Wait until Ariel Castro hears about this.

Good idea, except that I'd have the elephant stomp on the perp's other head first.

1998? Why wasnt he executed before? That's faster than lightning compared to California executions.
