I Don't Understand The PM Not Wanting To Bring Model Citizen Home

Death row inmate leaves PM unfazed
By LICIA CORBELLA

Robert Allen Smith is not the type of death row inmate who elicits feelings of sympathy.

There is no question he is guilty.

Smith also doesn't appear to have been "transformed" behind bars.

That should all be immaterial to Canada's position in helping to overturn his death sentence.

In 1982, the Alberta man, who was hitchhiking in Montana, was picked up by two cousins -- Harvey Mad Man, 24, and Thomas Running Rabbit, 20.

For their kindness, the two young men were repaid by shots in the back of their heads by Smith.

During his judge-alone trial, Smith admitted: "I wanted to find out what it would be like to kill somebody."

Clearly, Smith, now 50, is a cold-blooded double murderer.
