Who killed the teenagers, where and when isn't in doubt, he said. He focused instead on premeditation when talking to the jury. He pointed out that Smith had moved his pickup truck away from his house that day to make it look like nobody was home.

That was baiting the teens like hunting, Orput said. He then discussed the chair where Smith sat in his basement, waiting for the burglars to come to his house again. "There's your deer stand," he said of the chair.

He admitted he executed them and then waited a day to call the police. There's defending yourself and your property, and then there's this.

USA links are horrible.
Yeah, he's an idiot.

True, although this could have been avoided if the two kids wouldn't have broken into his home.

That defense is disturbing. And bullshite. If you're dumb enough to be baited to burglarize I house then frick you.
What the guy did was wrong and more than self defense IMO. But idk about life.

Doesn't help your defense when the burglars look like this:

“Nick,” said the voice before another gunshot is fired and Kifer is heard tumbling down the stairs.
“Oh, sorry about that,” Smith says.
“Oh my God!” the teen screams.
“You’re dying,” Smith tells her as more gunfire erupts. “B---h.”
The sound of another body getting dragged can be heard in the crystal-clear audio clip before Smith speaks to his victim again.
“B---h,” he says, before firing another round.

I remember this story. You shouldn't break in if you don't want to get shot but the way this guy went about "defending his property" is very questionable. Not sure if it is life in prison questionable though.

I think this was the dude who shot the "burglars" as they were coming down the stairs... dragged them down and put them in to the kitchen while they were still alive, then shot them again as the were laying there struggling to breathe. Then didn't call the police until the next day.
I remember reading about this a while back and thinking the dude was going to jail for a while.

Unfortunately, it doesn't. But a burglar is a burglar and their age and race shouldn't be a factor. One of those scenarios where If it was a couple ethnic kids people would look at it differently.
Dude handled it the wrong way regardless.

No doubt, and I'm not saying what he did was right. But if they didn't break in......

A 15-minute clip of the shooting includes the sounds of the teens getting gunned down and Smith dragging their bodies in a tarp to keep their blood from staining his carpet. Smith can be heard apparently toying with his victims, saying, “You’re dead,” after firing a fatal shot in one wounded victim
quote:
Suddenly, the sound of broken glass can be heard in the audio recording before two gunshots.
“Oh,” Smith groaned before another crack of the gun.
“You’re dead.”
Investigators say the bullets were fired into Brady after he slipped into the house. After the gunfire, the clip records the sound of a tarp rustling and a body being dragged to a workshop in the basement — where Smith said he pulled the teen to keep him from bleeding on his carpet.
The noise of heavy breathing is heard in the background with the sound of Smith reloading his gun. Suddenly, a female’s voice can be heard.
“Nick,” said the voice before another gunshot is fired and Kifer is heard tumbling down the stairs.
“Oh, sorry about that,” Smith says.
“Oh my God!” the teen screams.
“You’re dying,” Smith tells her as more gunfire erupts. “B---h.”

Yes, I posted that already. It really does not portray him to be in fear of his life, just spiteful.

Here is his interview with police... sickening:

quote:
"I'm getting seriously stressed because somebody wants in," he said. After a moment of silence, he said he heard a window break, and footsteps inside.
Smith told authorities he saw Brady begin descending the basement steps, then fired once Brady's hips came into view. Brady fell.
"He's looking, facing up at me, and I shoot him in the face. I want him dead," Smith told investigators.
Smith said he put Brady's body on a tarp so he wouldn't get blood into his carpet, dragged it into his workshop, reloaded his rifle and sat down.
Smith described feeling adrenaline, and "blood was pounding in my ears." He said he also felt he was being ganged up on, something he called one of his "red buttons." So when he saw Kifer come down the stairs minutes later, "I killed her too."
He shot her, and when he tried to "finish her off" his rifle jammed and she laughed, he said.
"I just pulled out the 22 and I shot her," he told authorities. He said he then pulled her into the workshop, but she was still gasping, so "I did a good, clean finishing shot and she gave out the death twitch."
He said he didn't call police because the teens were already dead and "just cause my Thanksgiving is screwed up I don't need to screw up yours." The next day, he asked a neighbor to call police.
