[shooting sounds] you are dead! now we left out the sound of the killing of the second burglar. that is a little harder to listen to. if you want to seek that out you can find it at our website. smith is 64 years old so even with parole it is unlikely he is going to ever get out. was the reaction to the verdict as divided as opinions in the town have been? reporter: it really was. the people who support smith say this sends a message it is a open season for home invasion. family members of the teenagers say they got justice but don t feel happy. justice was served today in the verdict and i thank you. rob houses, kill windows, threaten to kill people, wear camouflage, kick in doors, and you better run for your life because that is the message i got. repo
