We have spoken to Steven Smith in the prison. He has turned his life over to Jesus Christ. Though he has been found guilty of raping a 6 month old infant to death, we will get to see him in the afterlife on the right hand of Jesus. Hallelujah!
The Bible tells us that no matter what sin you have committed (except speaking against the Holy Spirit) it will be forgiven of you.
Let us not forget that that criminal on the cross next to Jesus was sent to heaven that very day by confessing that He is Lord.
Luke 23:39-43
39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.
42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.
It's just that easy for some people. Others have to work to be good and need the Bible to tell us not to kill, steal or rape monkeys.
Some of us get to confess at the last minute. It's just the way things go in a faith that is by faith alone.
But you never know when Jesus is going to come back and catch you unprepared or you could get hit by a bus. That is why you need a personal relationship with Jesus now. Just in case.

Ohio Man Who Raped 6-Month-Old Baby to Death Wants Mercy

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Condemned killer Steven Smith’s argument for mercy isn’t an easy one. Smith acknowledges he intended to rape his girlfriend’s 6-month-old daughter but says he never intended to kill the baby.
The girl, Autumn Carter, died because Smith was too drunk to realize his assault was killing her, Smith’s attorneys argued in court filings with the Ohio Parole Board, which heard the case Tuesday. And Ohio law is clear, they say: A death sentence requires an intent to kill the victim.

“The evidence suggests that Autumn’s death was a horrible accident,” Smith’s attorneys, Joseph Wilhelm and Tyson Fleming, said in a written argument prepared for the board.
They continued: “Despite the shocking nature of this crime, Steve’s death sentence should be commuted because genuine doubts exist whether he even committed a capital offense.”
Smith, 46, was never charged with rape, meaning the jury’s only choice was to convict or acquit him of aggravated murder, his attorneys say.
However, rape was included in the indictment against Smith as one of the factors making him eligible for the death penalty. Under Ohio law, an aggravated murder committed in the course of another crime – such as burglary, robbery, arson or the killing of a police officer or child – is an element that can make someone eligible for capital punishment.
