SARASOTA, Fla. - Joseph Smith should be executed for kidnapping, raping and murdering Carlie Brucia, the 11-year-old girl whose abduction was captured by a surveillance camera and broadcast around the world, a jury recommended Thursday.
Jurors deliberated five hours before arriving at their recommendation, voting 10-2 for the death penalty. Circuit Judge Andrew Owens ultimately will issue the sentence, as early as next month. Under the law, he must give great weight to the jury's choice before imposing a sentence of death or life in prison without parole.

This is the same state that killed Terri. One can only hope it's a better judge.

10-2? Makes me wonder who the two were who wanted to spare his life. Probably brain dead murderer loving libs.

I hope it is less than the ludicrous 26 years that Tookie has flourished behind bars here in Cali.

How in hell could there be two jurors refuse to execute this bastard..
He was FILMED taking the girl....
He told where the body could be found..
There is no question of his guilt....
In a just world - they would fry the two jurors with him...

Make that 2035. I'll be six feet under by then.

I predict that there will be NO celebrities lobbying for this person:
There just isn't any "celebrity" appeal.

The state did not kill terri. Technically, some dotor did the deed. The state is much to blame.

I thought it was Terri that did not want to live that way.

This POS should be led to the gallows at 9am tomorrow.
Won't happen. But just remember that this was an Eleven year old girl who had no chance once this POS grabbed her arm!
