Don't Kill Him, He's Stupid

He didn't stop to question her mental state, her age, or even the prospects her life held for her before he brutally killed her. But, Jessica Lunsford's killer would like the state of Florida to stop and consider his mental abilities prior to deciding whether to execute him for his crimes.

Court TV News- Lawyers for a Florida sex offender who was convicted earlier this year of raping and murdering 9-year-old Jessica Lunsford are set to appear before a judge Tuesday to argue that he should be spared a death sentence because he suffers from mental retardation.

A Miami jury convicted John Evander Couey in March of kidnapping, rape and murder for abducting Jessica from her Florida home in 2005 and keeping her in his room before burying her in garbage bags behind his trailer.


Let's see, this monster was smart enough to break into the home where she slept, steal her from the bed she was in, hide her for days while sexually abusing her, and then cruelly bury her alive in order to hide his crimes from police.... but he's not smart enough for the state to demand he pay for his crime.

Give me a freaking break. This is a cold and calculating sexual predator, with a disturbing history of criminal behavior, I'm not for a minute believing that this guy is too dumb to be sentenced to death.

Tampa Bay- Couey's mental state will decide his fate. In March, a jury recommended Couey be put to death for sexually assaulting and burying Jessica Lunsford alive, but mentally handicapped convicts may not be executed.

Couey's IQ has been assessed seven times in his lifetime, with two scores falling below 70, according to Prichard. The first was when he was a child; the other was just before he stood trial


They can't remove this man from the world soon enough.

He loves me, he loves me not, oh what the heck he loves me...

It seems to resemble a bit of a 3rd grade crush. Mag said first grade ... but it's really less annoying that having my ponytail pulled. He loves me... after all, he keeps linking to me . He loves me not... evidently that's why he uses my comments out of context and twists my words... he loves me, because clearly he likes to "poke the bear" (That 70's Show quote). Yes, I just referred to myself as a bear. A lot less hairy, but no less scary. Because anyone that thinks you should be locked up for the rest of your life is indeed scary. Especially when she likes to go around telling everyone how demented you are... and how she'd like to see you locked up forever. And even more scary when you know that it's the truth she speaks. And Lindsay, he is demented. And he should be locked up forever. And, well it seems that he is a fan of mine. Yep, that sick lil monkey can't help himself. He reads this here blog (which is a hint that you should share your thoughts...

Linsi E. Light

When it came on the news last night, there was very little information. Even today, although there is more coming out- there still is a rather chilling "quietness" in the details of the case. You must understand, my home town is rather small. Murders front page news. So when the second murder of the year was shuffled into the mid section of the paper this morning, without so much as a name for the victim, it seemed- well it seemed odd. It wasn't until this evening that one (out of two) local TV news stations picked it up enough for it to hit their website. What I have been able to compile so far, is that at some time last night, Lima Police received a call about a gun being shot. They arrived at 1212 Bellefontaine Ave, on the east side of Lima to find a 19 year old OSU student dead. The young woman would be identified as Linsi E. Light, a first year OSU Lima student from Montpelier Ohio , a small Ohio town with just over 4,000 residents. She apparently had been shot in th...
