He was caught on tape kidnapping Carly Bruscha . he sexually abused her, killed her. He took that little girl's future from her, he took her life from her, and he destoyed her family, leaving a whole in their lives they will have forever.
Today he asked the judge to spare his life for the sake of his own family. he wasn't thinking about Carly's family when he kidnapped, raped, and killed their daughter. He wasn't thinking about his own family either. So I see no reason for the judge to be forced to have the responsibility of Smith's family to be forced upon HIM! The judge did not kill Carly! No one will be there for Carly's family.
I believe Smith should get the death penalty, as the jury urges. I also have a problem with opponents of the death penalty who argue that these murderers' deaths, if indeed they should get the death penalty, should be humane. I argue that Carly's final hours in this life were horrific! They were filled with extreme fear, pain, despair, and agony beyond any of our comprehension. I can just imagine this little girl screaming out for her mommy and daddy to save her! I think about that and can not bring myself to argue that we should in turn make their killers' passing as serene as possible.
If it were up to me, I would be inclined to force their killers to experience the extreme fear, the horror, the pain, and the desperation that they have forced on their victims. I fall short of suggesting that every murderer be put to death in the exact same way in which they murdered their victims, but I would almost have no problem with going back to the electric chair or even public hangings instead of the simplicity of a needle in the arm and then them just falling off to sleep. I am sure carly Bruscha would have pleaded and beggged for such an alternative given the choice!
