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.

Orrin Hatch's push to strengthen the nation's sex-offender registries and clamp down on sex crimes. The Senate Judiciary Committee gave quick, unanimous approval to Hatch's bill Thursday, clearing its way for consideration by the full Senate. But Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., said he plans to try to attach language to a bill that would require tougher sentences, provide federal assistance and offer grants to prosecute hate crimes - those motivated by hatred for a race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.

WTW Someone Please Help Us

There's so much to work with, I'm going to just hit as much as I can. Ashely Simpson decided to pick a fight at McDonald's. Betting millions that if the employee would just go and get the manager- the manager would just love her. Simpson's climbing on the counter and irate behavior where in typical White Trash Style. Great coverage at Stereogum. Tom Cruise has decidedly canned his sister for her inability to help him keep his mouth shut. Evidently he needs a real professional as his PR person- in order to keep him in line. It's just not right firing family because you're and idiot. Kate Hudson is suing someone because of photos of her in which she looks like a starving actress. She claims the images suggest she has a eating disorder- no Kate, it's not the images, it's the you. One should not sue because they have starved themselves to the point of it being noticeable in photos. Please stop by these other great sites to read more WHITE TRASH WEDNESDAY B...

Boyfriends...

I sometimes wonder if certain men have some sort of animal DNA breed into them. The type of DNA or whatever it is that makes animals ritually preform certain actions. Like lions, when a male lion takes over a pride it'll often kill the offspring of the previous male, before mating with the female lions and creating cubs of it's own. I only wonder this, because it seems like there are an overwhelming number of men out there that end up killing the children of their girlfriends, not all of them do- but on a case by case comparison between girlfriends killing their boyfriends offspring and boyfriends doing it, it just seems that it's a lot more common amoung men. NOT THAT ALL OF THEM DO THIS... there are some great boyfriends/stepfathers out there that actually take care of kids as if they are their own... but then we have cases like Christopher Thunborg and Kashon Scott. Thunborg was babysitting his girlfriend's 11 month of baby in March when police say he caused ...
