In 2006, at least one correctional psychiatrist tried to get Smith deemed a sexual violent predator, but other professionals overruled the decision, saying Smith did not qualify.
The red flags in documents released by the Department of Children and Families about Smith jump off the page, according to former prosecutor Richard Alexander.
DOCUMENT: DCF report on Donald Smith treatment
"The system was starting to work," Alexander said. "Someone earmarked him as a sexual predator and sent it up for evaluation. From what I read in the paperwork, he refused to cooperate."

Seven years before police arrested Donald Smith as a suspect in the slaying of Cherish Perrywinkle, a panel of experts told the state he did not meet the criteria to be considered a sexually violent predator despite a warning from another state agency.

Judge sentences Donald Smith to death for rape, murder of 8-year-old Cherish Perrywinkle

“Donald Smith,” Circuit Judge Mallory Cooper said Wednesday, “you have not only forfeited your right to live among us, you have forfeited your right to life at all.”

A tear streamed down the face of juror Paul Hinson Wednesday. He was one of two jurors to attend the sentencing. The two of them and 10 other jurors spent the better part of three weeks in February at the courthouse. Many of them were drawn to tears when they were shown graphic photos of Cherish’s unrecognizable anatomy. Many again cried when they came back after two hours of deliberation following the sentencing hearing with a decision that Smith should be sentenced to death.

Thanks for the article, CaliRoses.
Good sentence for this horrible man.

I'll bet the night when he walked off with her, he couldn't wait to get her to his house.

And then this, so touching from the above article you shared with us. It referred to Judge Mallory Cooper who sentenced that horrible man:

"At times during the sentencing, Cooper’s voice cracked from emotion."
