[Renew Deal]

SARASOTA, Florida (CNN) -- A Florida judge formally sentenced Joseph P. Smith to death Wednesday for the 2004 murder of Carlie Brucia, whose abduction was captured by a security camera and shown around the world.

"Joseph Smith, based upon your actions, you have forfeited your right to live freely among us in society and pursuant to the laws of Florida you have forfeited your right to live," said Sarasota County Circuit Judge Andrew Owens.

Owens also sentenced Smith to life in prison without the possibility of parole on kidnapping and sexual battery charges. (Watch the child killer receive his sentence -- 1:34)

Brucia was abducted and killed in February 2004, while she was walking home from a friend's house.
