these type of criminals deserve worse that "getting beat up every day"
the sad thing is his attorney is going to claim he is "retarded" (his word not mine) and the death penalty can't be used on a "mentally handicapped " person.
I am all for "eye for an eye" I think it would make criminals think twice.
you stab someone
you burn them alive
you shoot them
your bury them alive
thats how you will die
Start punishing all those Susan Smith and Andrea Yates (and countless others), and perhaps some of that parental killing would stop too.
I don't know that it would stop.
Incest, post partum depression and psychosis, all of which played a part in those two women's lives, can really warp a person's mind.
It's really a sick world out there, and sometimes the most innocent ones pay the price.
John Evander Couey will get the death penalty, no doubt. While waiting the 15 - 20 years for him to get appeal after appeal and then for Florida to decide whether his lethal injection cocktail is "too cruel" unless it's administered by a medical professional, he'll be growing older; getting fatter; seeing his family; watching cable TV, etc. Justice takes TOO long! And Mark Lunsford, Jessi's father, has to live each day knowing this bastard is still breathing.
I say send him to Texas. They have no problem shooting in the good-bye juice.
I agree will all you've said. On the other side of a sad situation, I've always believed God does something for a reason and I was thinking why her? I think God took this little girl because he knew her father would push the laws to save all of our children. I live in Citrus County and last weekend there were over 5000 motorcyclist riding in her memory and would you belive in the newspaper the next few days, people were complaining that the motorcycles took over the road by parking in the middle lane because they couldn't all fit in the parking lot at the Harley shop?? My gosh i read that and wondered if these people have little grandchildren that this man is helping to protect. It's a sad situation to begin with but when these guys and girls are out there doing something for the kids safety, it's a shame people have nothing else to do but complain about it. Thank you Mr. Lunsford for pushing the laws and helping protecting my little girl. I say put the guy in prison the rest of his life and let the other prisoners take care of him. Why let him go so peacefully with some lethal injection.
Death is to easy. DAILY punishment would be better!!!! The sad thing is he had a long history and a conviction on assault/rape on a teenager BEFORE his final horrible deed. In an earlier post that was deleted under another topic I said before if these guys were convicted and placed in prison the FIRST time they were caught and never released then many of these children like Jessica would still be alive today. God Bless her dad in what he is doing and bringing the seriousness of their deeds to the forefront.
And how much will it cost us taxpayers to keep this dirtbag alive? If they are going to get rid of him why not use electricity, sometimes the chair malfunctions and there's flames or smoke, I am sure it's good therapy for the victims to know the perpetrator is roasting before he's gone. The public humiliation idea is good though, or how about death by gators?
