My vote would be that it is a ploy. Also that the judge should not allow it--the defendant should be expected to pay attention to his own trial.

[Shannon]

Agreed. The judge should not allow it. Isn't some type of decorum expected in a court room??

It is proof that he is a sick twisted old bastard not fit to ever live among society ever again.

[Circuit Judge Ric Howard ruled for the defense, noting that Couey is on trial for his life and if this is how he calms himself in court, so be it.]

The best way to calm this two-legged bucket of offal will be to strap him to a gurney and inject him with poison. However, if it were left to me I would simply deliver him to the family and neighbors of the victim and let them mete out a punishment.

No competent judge would allow such clearly mainuplative behavior in his court. This ruling is appalling.

[Neenah]

It is appalling that that zombie can sit and color to "calm him down" !

This PC crap is getting too much.! And if EVER there was a time to be sick of our judicial system, it was this week !

Between the Cry Baby Judge (Judge??) in the Anna fiasco, and seeing the face of this COEY CRUD coloring..it got a bit much. What describes it best ??

THE LOOK ON MARK LUNSFORDS FACE AS HE STARED AT THAT SATONIC SCUM. That incorporated everything to me.

I just bled for that man.
