The man convicted of abducting, raping and slaying 11-year-old Carlie Brucia will be sentenced today in Sarasota.
A jury has recommended by a vote of 10-2 that Joseph Smith be executed. A judge is required by law to give great weight to that recommendation when he makes his ruling Wednesday.
During a hearing last month, Smith tearfully apologized for his crimes. He told the judge that he took large amounts of heroin and cocaine and tried to kill himself before he abducted Carlie on Feb. 1, 2004.
Smith said he didn't remember much about that day and asked the judge to spare him for the sake of his family.
Carlie's abduction was caught by a security camera and aired nationally. Her body was found four days after her disappearance on the grounds of a Sarasota church.
