More On Couey

I'm not sure how I missed this the other day, perhaps the thought that John Couey wanted a plea deal was at the time sickening enough to me that I didn't want to take in anymore info on him than need be at the time. Thankfully, I came across this plea deal topic again tonight and was able to find this:

Unfortunately, due to some bungled police work, thanks to Sheriff Dawsy's office, as you mentioned before, the confession could be thrown out. Then Brad King is going to be put in the unenviable position of relying on the testimony of the occupants of the trailer to convict John Couey.

I can not for the life of me understand how exactly this confession could be thrown out. I can imagine that the police have bungled (as they call it) some things , after all, not one person watching the news coverage could believe that the whole time the police where searching, Jessica was right there. One would think that after screwing up that badly- the police would have been extra cautious when it came to getting the confession.
Sadly, this gets even more frustrating. For anyone that may have forgotten, Couey was staying in a home that was occupied by other people during the entire time of his criminal actions. They covered for him when they failed to inform the police that a convicted predator was living there. And lets be honest, there is absolutely no way that these people did not know that there was something going on. How long could someone hide a child in a trailer without the other people who lived there finding out? And did he have more help than we suspected?

Now details of his startling confession show Couey told cops that one of his roommates knew he was hiding Jessica in a closet in his room.

Really? And what they needed the word of a child rapist and murder to think this one through? Has the Florida heat done something to the brain cells of people down there? Or is it something else completely? Having lived in Florida myself, I really doubt it's the heat- I mean yeah, it's a bit warm there, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that other people in that tiny trailer knew. And it shouldn't take the word of some sicko to put two and two together and draw up some charges. Now the thought that one of them had a bigger role in the case has been questioned.
But wait- here is a bit of the response to this news:

Think of these four people, you know, up in this tiny little trailer and this girl locked in the — I mean, it's — locked in a closet there. It's unbelievable.
But look, Couey fingers one of the housemates there. And you know, what do you make of it, Pat? I mean, how could you believe anything that John Couey would say?
CAMPBELL: Well, let's face it. He's got some real credibility issues. Here is a known kidnapper, a known rapist, and an admitted as of yet unconvicted killer.

You have to be joking me. We don't have to believe that he had help on his word alone. Look at the situation. There is no way those people could NOT have known. I can tell you this, my house is a bit larger than that trailer- and I still know when there are other people in it. And it doesn't have to be days in order for me to notice it. And if they knew- they had to have had some reason to remain silent and even go as far as lying for him. The newest twist is that one of the people in the trailer actually was involved in the abduction and murder, according to Couey.
Those people from that trailer- Dorothy Dixon, Madie Secord, his niece, and Matthew Dittrich should be held as accountable for the abuse, and murder of Jessica as Couey is. Sadly enough, as of September 15th, the time has expired for them to be charged with obstruction.

Here's the report, from Fox News.
