Lawyers want to delay new sentencing trial for man convicted of killing girl
Lawyers will ask a judge Thursday for more time to prepare a new sentencing trial for a Florida man on death row for kidnapping, raping and killing 11-year-old Carlie Brucia.
In April 2018, the Florida Supreme Court ordered a new hearing for Joseph Smith because the jury that recommended the death sentence wasn't unanimous. Death sentences in Florida now require a unanimous vote.
