Justice?
Today, the body of nine year old Jessica Lunsford was found. She was murdered by a registered sex offender who then dumped her body.
John Evander Couey, 46, confessed to kidnapping and killing Jessica.
Couey has an extensive criminal record that includes 24 arrests for burglary, carrying a concealed weapon and indecent exposure. In 1991, he was arrested in Kissimmee on a charge of fondling a child under age 16. Records don't show how the case was resolved.
During a house burglary in 1978, Couey was accused of grabbing a girl in her bedroom, placing his hand over her mouth and kissing her, Dawsy said. Couey was sentenced to 10 years in prison but was paroled in 1980.
Now on a suicide watch, Couey is being visited in his cell every 15 minutes by police officers to protect his life.
On Fox News Georgia Congressman Lynn Westmoreland(R) notes that (paraphrased) "We have a woman alive in Florida who should be kept alive and people have been allowed to kill her. On the other hand we have a scumbag who has admitted molesting and killing a little nine year old girl that police say is on suicide watch and being visited every 15 minutes. Heck, give him a gun and tell him you'll be back in a few minutes."
Something is terribly wrong in this country.
Mary Schindler, Terri Schiavo's mother, stood before a microphone just a short time ago and said:
"In that building behind me my daughter is starving to death..."
We laugh together. We cry together. We smile together. We talk together...
Please, please, please, save my little girl.
Is anyone listening? Do something! Please.
