Smith, originally from Red Deer, Alta., has been facing capital punishment since 1983 for killing two young Montana men in 1982.

"I thought we were screwed," he said in an interview with The Canadian Press from Montana State Prison in Deer Lodge, Mont.

Montana's house of representatives passed a bill in February that would have amended protocol to include any substance in a lethal quantity sufficient to cause death. But the senate voted it down 26-24."Obviously, I'm happy about it, but at the same time it keeps running through the back of my head, 'Oh crap. I'm stuck sitting around here again," Smith sighed.

Smith and Rodney Munro, both high on LSD and alcohol, shot and killed two Indigenous cousins near East Glacier, Mont., in 1982. They admitted to marching Harvey Mad Man, 23, and Thomas Running Rabbit, 20, into the woods by a highway. They shot each man in the head with a sawed-off .22-calibre rifle.

Oh so he doesn’t mind staying in prison if he gets to see his family all the time I see how it is well then we should definitely do that because you know why not it’s not like his victims families would love to have the same opportunity or not. Leave them in Montana alive…

Grant his wish

But it shouldn't be decisional society that is in discord over the issue it should be their own decision red button Blue Button and then of course in Canada a little bit of humour every time you press the red button it just says having a bad day maybe tomorrow here's a thought

Are we supposed to feel sorry for him?

Those wrongfully convicted would disagree. 🤔

Would Dying with Dignity cover these occasions?

Cheaper too.

The two dead men he killed claims otherwise.

Common sense, I think!

Oilers' Mike Smith not taking potential last shot at glory for grantedMike Smith's best shot at winning the Stanley Cup came almost a decade ago with the Arizona Coyotes. Now 39 and returning to the playoffs, he isn't taking anything for granted and he's making sure his Edmonton Oilers teammates aren't either. Spec Dear Edmonton. I hope Mike doesn’t get injured cause you really have no backup Spec Redemption Spec Smith was on a pretty great Flames team actually a few years ago and played alright but seemed to always let in 4 goals or tying goals at bad times.
