Mark Lunsford: "I hope he rots in hell." regarding Cooey.
Mark now intends to try and change the law in Florida to make for stricter prosecution of child molestors.
Capital punishment sounds good to me.
I think Cooey should volunteer to trade places with Terri Schiavo. Starve him to death instead. Solves lots of problems.
"I am the parent of a murdered child..."
That is awful, I am so sorry for your loss.
I think you are very brave to carry on.
I think if it was me, I'd be under the bed with the whiskey bottle.
I didn't think you could get a violent crime expunged, I really thought that was only for misdemeanor stuff. I'm ignorant, and I'll check out your website.
The father's right. It's time to get tough with the monsters. I'm not talking about starving the killer/rapist to death -- we're not like the dems. But death is what's it's got to be for child rapist. And death every time. We don't need these people among us. Period. No exceptions. A child under the age of 10 is raped and the man dies.
I agree, that man's anguish touched my heart to.
He can be assured that the evil scumbag will rot in hell and all that are like him.
Florida lawmakers should act quickly on this. I dont believe the recent bill that passed against these scumbags was strong enough. They shouldnt be allowed out there to harm innocent precious children, but if they allow them to run free than Dads like Jessica's,God rest her soul, should be able to do what they will with the trash. I am sure justice would be served.
The death penalty ought to be an automatic given for murder of a child.
I am guessing this is the first time he has killed someone. What was he in prison for before?
Does anyone know a way to get hold of this poor guy?? I'm watching and all I keep hearing is "I need your help" and "I need your support"... It's directed more toward the Senators and Congressmen and other lawmakers but all I could keep thinking is this man needs a someone to hold him and hug him...
I'm a 36 yr. old divorced father of two beautiful boys and all I want to do right now is hug this poor man and cry with him and just....... I don't even know, but this is so upsetting!!!! This poor man, PARENTS ARE NOT MADE TO BURY THEIR CHILDREN!!! I can't believe how anyone pulls through this....
Gail, my heart, my thoughts and my shared love of the Lord goes out to you... I hope there is a way that Mr. Lunsford is able to find others like you to help him through what must be the most horrific experience in a any human beings life...

"I am starting to take bets on how long he will last in jail."
Yep. I'm wondering about 'ole Scotty (the Smug POS) P, too. Heard on FNC this a.m. a quote from another convict there that said (paraphrasing) they didn't care what he did w his wife - that was between the two of them, but he was going to pay for taking the life of his child. Then mentioned somthing about canteen $s. My take was they were going to make Scotty's life very miserable. I've heard that the one things cons don't tolerate is harming a child and they'll get one who does for it.
He is around because the Libs have fought for his right to live.
But, they are fighting for the right to kill an innocent US citizen, Terri Schiavo.
Yup, my dislike for libs is now developing into a hatred.
Recidivisim (repeat offenses) is at 68% nationwide, 58% in Tennessee according to the last study done. THese repeat offenders commit over a MILLION crimes a year including over 10,000 murders and rapes. Get the facts and use them.
I've listened to Mark Lunsford as well as the grandmother. My sense is they want to do something, want to organize something, but don't know how.
They need some guidance. I hope someone down Florida way takes these people and makes them sponsors of legislation that will prevent this from happening again. Perhaps a "Jessica's Law" or some such.
Although I frankly don't know what could be put in such legislation, perhaps a requirement that all neighbors in a certain radius of a known child molester be put on notice, via web and via snail mail, that such a perp is living near them.
Yet this would not have helped Jessica as Couey left where he had been living. If nothing else, maybe they could sponsor a public awareness kind of thing, generating instructions on how to check for sex offenders on a regular basis, especially parents of young children.
It's got to be frustrating to be in this position and feel so helpless.
Parents of Murdered Children is a nationwide org and should have chapters in FL. They will go to court with you, walk you through the INjustice system, and offer emotional support as only someone who has walked this mile can know.
I'm guessing, after seeing his track record, this is the first time he has been CAUGHT killing a child.
I say put child molestors to death on the FIRST offense.
Please also remember: As much as we all want to see these criminals put to death - there are 16 states where there is no death penalty. These criminals will all go to those states. There are currently over 400,000 sex offenders in the United States.
As one who has buried my 18yr old daughter, six years ago, I can tell you that one does not pull through it, one endures.
