The murderer of Carlie Brucia has died in custody
Francesco Abbruzzino, The Uncensored Report, LLC
Our office was notified by the Attorney General’s Office this morning that Joseph Smith, DOC # 899500, died in the custody of the Florida Department of Corrections today. Smith was convicted of kidnapping, sexually assaulting, and murdering 11 year old Carlie Brucia in 2004. While nothing can bring back Carlie, we are grateful that her family, her friends, and the entire Sarasota community will finally have closure and will not have to endure any further court proceedings to bring Smith to justice.
-Ed Brodsky, State Attorney, 12th Judicial Circuit
