Deal sought in killing
Let's back up for a moment. The government has this man, has evidence of his guilt, and come on has him dead by rights. No jury would let him walk with such overwhelming evidence. I'll recap a bit of it for you.
Confession
The child's body bury in his yard
Fingerprints of the child in his room
DETAILED CONFESSION
That's about all it takes for me, but you can feel free to add his prior convictions on there, or the fact that HE even stated during one conviction that he would do it again, and possibly kill someone.
And he wants a plea. Well guess what? I'd really like to know that in the morning a little girl is going to wake up in her bed, in her house. I would like to have assurance that we could turn back time and have locked him up for life the first time. But, we all know I can't get what I want. I can't make all these sick monsters disappear, and I can't make someone reverse time to protect all the children in the world. I'm sure Jessica's family would like to be able to see her graduate. See her get married and have babies of her own.
Couey wants a deal- I'd be willing to promise not to make his death too painful. But to give him life in prison? Are you kidding me?
The fact that some lawyer put the thought into this mans head about a deal, or at least didn't try to explain enough that he couldn't make a deal, didn't deserve a deal and should more than likely rot in hell- amazes me.
