A Florida man on death row for kidnapping, raping and killing 11-year-old Carlie Brucia will get a new sentencing hearing.

The Florida Supreme Court on Thursday ordered a hearing for Joseph Smith because the jury that recommended the death sentence wasn't unanimous.

The 2004 case in Sarasota received national publicity after a surveillance camera captured images of Smith taking Carlie away.

Carlie Brucia was walking home from a friend’s house on Feb. 1, 2004, when Smith abducted her as she passed the back of Evie’s Car Wash, 4715 Bee Ridge Road in Sarasota.

The jury found him guilty in 2005, and then voted 10-2 that Smith would be sentenced to death.

Last year a judge vacated Smith's death sentence but did not re-sentence him. A new hearing has not been scheduled yet.

Smith is one of several death row inmates that required new sentences after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Florida's death penalty law. The Florida Legislature then passed a new bill requiring a unanimous jury vote in order to impost the death penalty.

Smith had a long record, had recently violated probation, but was released. That outraged the public and politicians.

Then-U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris filed a bill called "Carlie's Law" to get tougher on criminals who violate federal probation. While that failed, then-Gov. Charlie Crist signed a similar bill into law in 2006.

The so-called "anti-murder" act was inspired by Carlie and other child victims.
