Don't give up hope, Ronnie...

...I'm sure Justin and Iggy are gonna be pullin' for you...
A Montana lawmaker’s failed bid to have capital punishment abolished in the state has left Ronald Smith — the only Canadian on death row in the U.S. — with one less avenue to avoid execution nearly 30 years after he murdered two Americans during a drunken road trip from Alberta in 1982.

Smith confessed to the crime and initially asked for the death penalty, but later launched what has become a three-decade fight to avoid execution.
If only there was a way to execute him twice.
