Fla. Girl's Killer Gets Death Sentence

Sorry for the language but this mother fucker can't die soon enough. They should take him out of the court room and shoot him right then and there.
SARASOTA, Fla. - A former mechanic convicted of raping and murdering 11-year-old Carlie Brucia, whose abduction was caught on a car wash security camera, was sentenced to death Wednesday for her murder.
The jury that convicted Joseph P. Smith in November had recommended by a vote of 10-2 that he be executed.
Smith, 39, showed no emotion Wednesday as state Circuit Judge Andrew Owens read the official sentences ? death for the murder count and life in prison for kidnapping and sexual battery.
Last month, Smith had tearfully apologized during a hearing, saying: "I take responsibility of my crimes. I don't understand how this could have happened. ... Every day I think about what I did and beg God for forgiveness."
He said he had taken heroin and cocaine in an attempt to kill himself before he abducted Carlie on Feb. 1, 2004. Smith said he didn't remember much about that day and asked Owens to spare him for the sake of his family. His attorney, Adam Tebrugge, argued that Smith could lead a productive life in prison and be a positive influence on his three daughters if he was spared.
Owens discounted those arguments Wednesday. He said Carlie suffered "unspeakable terror and physical suffering" at Smith's hands.
Carlie's body was found four days after her disappearance on the grounds of a Sarasota church. News of the crime shook the community, and hundreds turned out for memorial services.
Absent from the courtroom was Carlie's mother, Susan Schorpen, who is in jail in Pinellas County on drug and prostitution charges. She has said the pain of losing her daughter led her to institutionalize herself three times and take drugs to numb the pain.

wouldnt a life sentence be worse than death though? i mean, in death he will just dispear or whatever. but in jail he will het his booty taken, day after day. eat bad food and have unfashionable clothes. he will smell like pecan pie and he wont get to see the light of day. i think life is a worse punishment. but then again, it depends on what he would want, if he wants life, then kill him! but if he wants to jsut get it over with, give him life.
and i dont get how losing your daughter would make you prostitute yourself...

no. life sentances are usualy between 7 and 14 years, parole is usualy given at the 7 year mark.

you really want to pay $100k+ per year to support a murdering pedophile? thats what it costs to house a state prisoner, lets assume he lives for 30 more years thats 3 million payed out for a man that raped an 11yo girl and then brutaly killed her, sure the food isnt the greatest in prison but it's better than eating at Krystals or Wendys, sure he might get raped and beaten but then again he may get protection or may be the one doing the raping, he'll have 3 hots and a cot for the 30 years.
guess what else he can get, DRUGS, lots of drugs go through the prison system, my dad never touched heroin until he went to prison for murder, he was out in 3 years, doesnt sound so bad when you think about the fact that it's just a boys club with drugs, if prison were really as bad as they make it out to be, why are there so many repeat offenders?
Quote:

whats an 11yo girl doing hanging out at a carwash? maybe mom was a prostitute before then, regardless, people do strange whit when they lose a child. start taking drugs like crack or meth, they gotta pay for the drugs some how, the choices for women are usualy theft or prostitution, one tends to come naturaly
I say fry the fucker, you hear the claims that the death penalty isnt a deterant but the murder rate in the UK climbed when they did away with capitol punishment they're talking about bringing it back, even if it's not a deterant for most, the perpetrator wont ever kill again, seems like a deterant to me.

My step father (A therapist) thinks that anyone who does things like this should be given massive amounts of LSD and be made to listen to the person's family.

I say throw this guy in with the general population at any prison that is notorious for violence. Pedophiles and child killers are always targeted by fellow inmates. This guy would last about five minutes out on the yard.

LSD is not always the answer, I can do heavy doses of LSD and still function, I talked my way out of several criminal charges on large doses, 24 hits in my system and carried on a conversation with my mom while on a trip to grandmas house
in the instance of this guy, he should be skinned alive with a pair of vice grips

first, its calles life without parol. also, they do give multiple life sentences (two life times worth of time spent in prison).
second, as mentioned, it costs more to execute someone than to keep them alive.

Anti-capital punishment campaigners in America sight the higher cost of executing someone over life in prison, but this (whilst true for America) has to do with the endless appeals and delays in carrying out death sentences that are allowed under the American legal system where the average time spent on death row is over 11 years. In Britain in the 20th century, the average time in the condemned cell was less than 8 weeks and there was only one appeal.
I say we go with the UKs approach.

Hell yeah. Did you see that fucking scumbag priest act all indignant when he was sentenced to prison? He was like, "I shouldn't be punished like this". I smiled when I saw on the news that he'd been offed. I hope that piece of shit suffered as the life ebbed from him.

wrong.
its easy to make blank statements isnt it. how about proving it.
" Fact: The death penalty is extraordinarily expensive. Contrary to popular intuition, a system with a death penalty is vastly more expensive than one where the maximum penalty is keeping murderers in prison for life. A 1982 New York study estimated the death penalty cost conservatively at three times that of life imprisonment, the ratio that Texas (with a system that is on the brink of collapse due to underfunding) has experienced. In Florida, each execution runs the state $3,200,000--six times the expense of life imprisonment. California has succeeded in executing just two defendants (one a volunteer) since 1976, but could save about $90,000,000 per year by abolishing the death penalty and resentencing all of its Death Row inmates to life."
and lets not forget that prisons provide work for our hard working tax payers.

basically before we can execute someone in america, we need to prove them guilty, by all means. and this means several court appeals n such. which is payed by the state. basically going through all the safe guards to try and stop from executing someone who is actually innocent (or whos crime was not at the extent of what was previously thought).

How come we cant still do things like our founding fathers would have? When we sentence someone to life all we are doing is putting them in an early retirement home, with A/C, Heat, square meals, television, etc. Granted the food might not be the best, and you dont ever get to see the sunrise. Back in the day we would have hung this same person in the streets of downtown to SET AN EXAMPLE. People hear about the death penalty now a days but its not quite broadcasted on cable TV. I think there would be a lot less crime if the general public had a chance to watch the death of every convicted felon. I bet Washington, Franklin, and the rest of the boys are just rolling in their graves about now.

This is a bogus argument. Before someone can be locked away for life there needs to be a trial proving them guilty. And just because they didn't get the death penalty doesn't mean they can't appeal.

PLUR, LOL said: No, it isn't. You said those things like they only apply to executions, thus making life sentencing cheaper. Are you forgetting which side of the argument you're on?
im leaning towards getting rid of the death penalty, purely for the economics of it. i think what youre refering to is a regular apeal. where as the perpetrator that is to be executed will get more than just one trial. i read a few studies on this this week (gotta do a class paper on it) and so far i have yet to find a study which disagrees with what i have just said...
if you can find suitable data showing the contrare, then please post. otherwise your argument has no support. you need the data boi!!

you are correct. as strange as it sounds, capital punishment costs far more than life in prison with no parole.
Quote:
Prosecuting a death penalty case is extremely expensive for a state and drains money that could be used for education and social programs. It costs more than sentencing a prisoner to life without parole.
The most comprehensive death penalty study in the country found that the death penalty costs North Carolina $2.16 million more per execution than a non-death penalty murder case with a sentence of life imprisonment (Duke University, May 1993). In its review of death penalty expenses, the State of Kansas concluded that capital cases are 70% more expensive than comparable non-death penalty cases.

Very interesting, bi0. Thanks for the link. The ACLU doesn't explain why it's more costly to prosecute a death penalty case than a life sentence, though. Is it just because of appeals?

It's because they are still in prison 10+ years and many many appeals on top of that. And then the execution.
All in all I would imagine that that equals 20-25 years of someone with life and no death penalty. I'm just guessing, I don't know but I am sure there are statistics somewhere. If I wasn't so high I would look it up.....Anyways, the average life sentence equals out to less than whatever the cost for the death row inmate is.
Not to mention that they completely seperate death row inmates from all of the other ones. I'm sure that that adds a lot of cost as well (more employees, etc.)

I think a really slow, torture filled death would help a lot as a deterrent. I am against the Death Penalty, but if we are going to have it, it should be painful.
Or maybe the person should die the way that they killed their victim (s). In the case of multiple methods of murder by the convict, just write them all down and draw out of a hat to determine how to kill them.

I think a life sentence in jail with no chance of parole would be worse then death.
But it cheaper to just kill them.

capital punishment doesnt quite work as a deterrent, but more importantly, such punishment is unconstitutional:

I am well aware of that.....I didn't say that it would be constitutional to do that nor did I intend to imply that it would be.
A torture free capital punishment does not work as a deterrent, but a slow and painful capital punishment would. That's all I'm saying. I'm not saying that it's going to happen because it never will.

I dont see how a period of torture is going to be anymore of a deterrent than a life in prison and execution. doesnt make sense.
people committ heinous crimes such as murder because they are not exactly right in the head. they are not going to think at all about the consequences even when one consequence is torture.

That's n ot always the case. Some people that commit murder are right in the head and they just really fucking hated the other person. For people like that that have the ability to think straight, it might matter. Sure that is very much a minority, but it would make a difference on some level, no matter how small of a level that that might be.
Either way though, like I already said I'm against the death penalty in the first place. I was just more or less throwing out an idea is all.

dude, read my thread, it is much mroe expensive to execute someone do to all the legal barriers... if you want to save tax payers some money, you will keep him with a life sentence.
wrong.
its easy to make blank statements isnt it. how about proving it.
" Fact: The death penalty is extraordinarily expensive. Contrary to popular intuition, a system with a death penalty is vastly more expensive than one where the maximum penalty is keeping murderers in prison for life. A 1982 New York study estimated the death penalty cost conservatively at three times that of life imprisonment, the ratio that Texas (with a system that is on the brink of collapse due to underfunding) has experienced. In Florida, each execution runs the state $3,200,000--six times the expense of life imprisonment. California has succeeded in executing just two defendants (one a volunteer) since 1976, but could save about $90,000,000 per year by abolishing the death penalty and resentencing all of its Death Row inmates to life."
and lets not forget that prisons provide work for our hard working tax payers.
mind linking to the site this came from? mind breaking it down to how it costs so much to execute a single individual, exactly how many times do they need to build a 'death house', certainly one not for each prisoner.
for a state prisoner it's $100k/yr for housing and care for a federal prisoner it's $250k/yr each of these can carry 'extras'

Statement on Capital Punishment by Julius L. Chambers, March 14, 1990 Source Database: Information Plus: Capital Punishment: Cruel and Unusual?
Table of Contents: Source Citation
Julius L. Chambers, Director-Counsel, NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc., gave this statement on March 14, 1990, before the House Judiciary Committee.
... [P]assage of the proposed death penalty bills would not advance--but would instead retar--resolution of the vexing problems associated with urban crime. While holding up the mirage of fighting and deterring crime, these death penalty bills would surely result in furthering the historical and well-documented racial disparities in the imposition of capital punishment in the United States.
Our concern is squarely grounded in the stark reality, which Black people have traditionally faced. For more than three centuries, the weight of the death penalty in this country has been borne far more heavily by Blacks than by Whites....
... There is no question that the financial cost of sentencing a single person to death is astronomical.... For example, the GAO (General Accounting Office) noted that one study done on "death penalty costs in New York estimated it would cost at least $1.8 million to defend and prosecute a capital case." By contrast, the cost of feeding and housing the defendant convicted in that same case for a period of 40 years would only be $602,000. The proposed statutes are absolutely silent as to where the millions of dollars would come from to "foot the bill...."
Perhaps the true purpose of the bills is to divert the public's attention away from considering measures which could truly serve to fight crime. One commentator correctly observed that ... "the death penalty debate enables public officials and legislators to falsely assert that they are being tough on crime because they favor the death penalty." More emphasis should be placed on the less glamorous side of fighting crime. Most major cities in the country, for example, cannot afford to offer adequate treatment to young offenders who have become ensnared with the drug world....

The Case Against the Death Penalty
Eric M. Freedman Source Database: Contemporary Issues Companion: Death Penalty Table of Contents: Further Readings | Source Citation
Paying the Price in Public Safety
Fact: The death penalty actually reduces public safety. The costs of the death penalty go far beyond the tens of millions of dollars wasted in the pursuit of a chimera. The reality is that, in a time of fixed or declining budgets, those dollars are taken away from a range of programs that would be beneficial. For example:
* New York State, due to financial constraints, can not provide bulletproof vests for every peace officer--a project that, unlike the death penalty, certainly would save law enforcement lives. * According to FBI statistics, the rate at which murders are solved has dropped to an all-time low. Yet, empirical studies consistently demonstrate that, as with other crimes, the murder rate decreases as the probability of detection increases. Putting money into investigative resources, rather than wasting it on the death penalty, could have a significant effect on crime. * Despite the large percentage of ordinary street crimes that are narcotics-related, the states lack the funding to permit drug treatment on demand. The result is that people who are motivated to cure their own addictions are relegated to supporting themselves through crime, while the money that could fund treatment programs is poured down the death penalty drain.

The Death Penalty Does Not Deter Crime
Part I: Christine Notis and Part II: Edward Hunter Source Database: Opposing Viewpoints: The Death Penalty Table of Contents: Further Readings | Source Citation
The Death Penalty Is Expensive
If the death penalty was an effective deterrent, it would also be more cost efficient than any other forms of punishment. The fact is that a single execution costs more than two million dollars. This is $800,000 more than incarcerating a person for life. Supporters of the death penalty argue that the reason it is so expensive to execute someone is because of the numerous frivolous appeals. Proponents say that if the death penalty was applied properly, without so many appeals, it would be less expensive than life in prison without parole.
The truth is that these costs are not the result of frivolous appeals, but instead the result of necessary, Constitutionally mandated safeguards. In order to ensure a just conviction, (1) juries must be given clear guidelines on sentencing, (2) defendants have to have two trials, one to decide their guilt or innocence, the other, if proven guilty, to decide whether or not they should be sentenced to death, and (3) defendants that are sentenced to death are granted oversight protection in an automatic appeal to the Supreme Court. These safeguards result in a more drawn out jury selection process, an increase in the number of motions filed, more investigators and expert testimony, and more lawyers with specialization in death penalty cases. All of this taken together means that the trial will be a lot longer, thus, more expensive.
The economic impact has to be felt by someone, and it is usually not the defendant. It is the counties that usually pay for the prosecution, and because most defendants lack the needed funds, the counties usually pay for the defense as well. Because of these bills, some counties have to cut back on basic services, ironically including police protection, in order to pay for one capital murder trial.
In other words, the death penalty is not more cost effective than life in prison without parole. It seems to be almost hypocritical of our society to keep spending so much money on the death penalty. Isn't this the same society which strongly argues slight raises in taxes for good causes, like education and/or health care? Yet the tax payers in the United States continue to fork out their dough to see people fried or hanged.
The cost of the death penalty can be measured in more than just dollars and cents. Capital cases take up tremendous amounts of court time, thereby delaying the processing of other important cases. There is also a significant burden on the United States Supreme Court. Furthermore, State Supreme Court officials probably spend at least one-half of their time dealing with death penalty appeals.

key word, procecuting... whats the excecution cost? as I recall the ACLU isnt an unbiased party, they arent collecting data, they're trying to abolish the death penalty
also from their site, also biased because it doesnt describe how many innocent people are released from prisons every year.
Quote:
Death Penalty: The death penalty is the greatest denial of civil liberties. Innocent people are being sentenced to death. In the past 30 years, 122 inmates were found to be innocent and released from death row. The ACLU is working toward a moratorium on the death penalty.

then see the myriad of sources around the internet that demonstrate how capital punishment is by far more expensive than life in prison, if not the two sources that the ACLU mention.

theres another post in the pub that does an actual breakdown on the death penalty and it's costs, I gotta crash but I'll try and find it in the morning, you may be suprised to see it only costs about $40k to execute someone, it costs more to house them until the excecution for the 10-15 years until they've spent their appeals

read the side bar, they at least link to anti-death penalty sites as well as the pro sites, they allow YOU to decide based on info you can search through, not just to present their side and tell you 'this is how it is'
I support the ACLU in many aspects, this simply isnt one of them, they say that the death penalty is a violation of a prisoners civil rights, what about the rights of the victim, wheres their appeals?

read the side bar, they at least link to anti-death penalty sites as well as the pro sites, they allow YOU to decide based on info you can search through, not just to present their side and tell you 'this is how it is'
junk links to the opposition do not make a website objective and unbiased. DPINFO is as biased as the ACLU.
the ACLU is one of those junk links

...and what exactly would a victims' "appeal" process entail? please explain.
read that part over agan and maybe you'll see my point, think maybe the death row inmate deserves the same chances as his victims?

I agree Pris. If someone sexually attacks and murders a child then the death penalty is the feasible societal response in my opinion. No more life, breath, thought, no chance of any possible pleasures (however small) for the guilty, they need to be removed from the living as their actions have forfeited their existence in society. Will it be a deterrent? No but so what. If they are unhindered by laws and basic human morality then there is probably nothing that would make them reconsider their actions anyway, but they are an evil to be expunged so if they're proven guilty and have gone through their appeals then it's time for capitol punishment. Even if its more expensive than life in prison. No meals, no books, no life, no hope. Just gone.

I just watched Dead Man Walking last night for the first time. All of this is very much on my mind. But I don't have much to say about it at the moment.

In cases like this one where the Pervert is guilty beyond any reasonable doubt it should take them 2 months max to kill him.
So in the case I will take the death penalty for the societal win.

bio mentioned the death penalty as being cruel and unusual punishment, honestly, if it's not cruel and unusual is it really punishment, prisons are nothing more than schools for criminals, need to learn to pick locks, crack safes or get away with the crimes you plan on committing, prison is the place for you.
I feel the death penalty should be used more, how many people convicted of murder have left prison just to go on to commit another, how many rapists or pedophiles have done the same, I believe in the 3 strikes your out, the difference being if you are found guilty 3 rapes or crimes against children, 3 armed roberies, virtualy any real sexual (doesnt include public urination and the like) or violent offenses, you show you arent capable of fitting into society, you deserve the death penalty, these dont have to be seperate convictions, rob 3 stores with a gun, get caught, die, lets see about deterants to crime then

I disagree, the death penalty is in fact a deterant, bot only when it's used, theres been 1011 executions in the US since 1976, thats out of the 38 states that use capital punishment, thats less than 1 per year per state on average the reason it's not a deterant now is because most people know that they'll never get it if they commit a murder, most states that have it have a few people on death row but they dont excecute them, Pennsylvania has excecuted 3 of the 231 people that are on death row...

He was going to kill himself anyways...Now they're just making sure the job gets done for him. To me seems like more of a reward to him, they should just give him a life sentence.
