This was national news when it happened, but the follow up/closure of the the story probably will only be local.

Since it is local to me, I'd thought I'd provide the link to the story, such as it is.

Actually, this feed is pretty cool, they use it to stream their newscast and any remote sites that they are reporting... currently it is showing a raw feed from a helocopter that is circling a building fire

The judge reads the final sentance:

Quote:

Joe Smith will pay with his life for killing of Carlie Brucia an ABC Action News report 03/15/06 - updated 5:27 p.m. related story: Jury recommends death penalty for Carlie Brucia's killer (12/02/05) SARASOTA - For kidnapping, raping, and murdering Carlie Brucia, Joseph Smith will pay with his life. A Sarasota judge announced Wednesday that he agreed with jurors who recommended the death penalty for the 39-year-old. "You have forfeited your right to live freely among us in society, and pursuant to the laws of Florida, have forfeited your right to live," Judge Andrew Owens told Smith. "May God have mercy on your soul." Carlie Brucia's abduction got worldwide attention when surveillance video of the incident was released back in 2004. The 11-year-old was found dead a few days later; Smith was convicted of first-degree murder in November. In December, Smith made an emotional six-minute statement, pleading with the judge to spare him and instead send him to prison for the rest of his life. It was not for his sake, he said, but for the sake of his family.

Well, he's getting what he deserves if you ask me.

Although this is one of the worst crimes you can imagine. Death Penalty is immoral. No one has the right to take someones else life. That is why the death penalty is not executed in most of the civilized contries.
