“Yes, they all wanted just one thing from him,” said a relative of the 53-year-old killer. “But they didn’t want to put his full name on the record to argue that he should get out of jail.”
The post reached four people who regularly called and messaged Smith. Two of them did not answer the call, one hung up and the fourth groaned loudly when he heard Smith’s name.
“I’m not going to stick my neck out for her and then let her run off with another guy,” the boyfriend, in his 60s, told The Post. “I’m no fool.”
