Florida? I doubt it. Floridians and us Texans, IMHO, "get it." Personally, I don't particularly care whether the death penalty keeps other murdering jackasses from killing. I know it'll damn sure keep the one who was just executed from murdering again. That's good enough for me.

Probation official Joe Papy said Circuit Judge Harry Rapkin declined to find Smith in violation, which could have returned him to jail.

Even if he negotiated getting out of the death penalty, scum like him do not last long in prison. They seem to have a way of meeting an early death. Child killers are frequently "taken care of" by their fellow inmates.
