Bump. 25 years makes not a "speedy trial". And some people seem to think that a trial is not "fair" unless every accused is exonerated. While application of the death penalty should rest on the highest standard of evidence, there is no reason to be housing and feeding these vermin for decades until their parasitic representatives have milked the system for every delay imaginable - not for the sake of justice (working for a real breakthrough in the case), but just to buy time in the hopes of a legislative victory against the death penalty. A revolting state of affairs.
Actually I think it may be possible to rehabilitate pedophiles.
Unfortunately the method I believe would work would most likely be considered unethical.
I believe aversion therapy would work it electrodes were inserted in the pedophiles brain at the pain centers.
The subject would them be shown movies with clips of child porn inserted at random intervals. When the child porn appeared and the subject became aroused the pain centers in his brain would be stimulated.
This therapy would be continued until the subject no longer was aroused by child porn. Basically you teach the pedophiles brain that sex with children is painful.
The subject would then be introduced to real children in controlled environments (CCTV monitored but so that the subject would be as unaware of the monitoring as possible). Remote electronic monitoring of his arousal state would verify that he was no longer stimulated by children.
This type of reconditioning may take years of treatment and may require periodic repeated reconditioning and testing to remain effective.
Maybe it would work maybe it wouldnt, but I doubt that my proposal would be approved of by medical ethicist and may by some be considered torture.
But let me say that I do not propose this for Couey. He has killed an innocent child in a most horrendous way and deserves quick and lethal punishment. Jessie Lunsford deserves justice.
I caught a glimpse of Glen Beck last night promoting flourescent license plates, GPS collars... BRANDING for child molesters who are out on the streets. All I could think of(when I stopped laughing) was how much we'd be better off with them DEAD! No wasted tax money... just a big chunk of lead to their heads.
Right on Ted. Sadly, we've become a society that expends more effort on the care and comfort of prisoners than we do on the disabled and dying in hospice and hospitals.
Just the other day, a story was related to me of a patient with a degenerative pontine disease who was well enough to talk and go outside in a wheelchair having food and water pulled on doctor's orders in a comfort care setting.
High five Ted.......
It disgusts me to think that John Couey could be on death row longer than Jessica Lunsford lived. Kill him and all other pedophiles immediately.
Put him in a box and let the little girls family bury him alive.
Here is how I'd like to see this handled: The judge says "You have been found guilty, the sentence is death" then from under his robe he draws a large bore wheel gun and puts a round through the diseased animal's head, thus assuring no recitivism.
If there were any true justice left in America, John Couey would already be dead.
should read:
If we behaved as a civilized society towards child molesters, John Couey would already be dead.
No civilized society would allow Couey to live.
Ted Nugent ought to run for Congress when he hangs his guitar up -- for no other reason than it would make it interesting.
Which means the molester has nothing to lose and everything to gain by killing the kid and leaving no witnesses.

Ted, we don't.............just ask the millions upon millions we flushed down the abortionist sinks
...then we should protect our children from these monsters
The ACLU says their rights supersedes the rights of our children
I think its a great idea, its like saving our planet from REAL threats instead of using meteoroligical hysteria to support political ambitions.
What we really need is the modern day Judge Dredd.
I've been saying the same thing lately here on FR. Everyone is so shocked at each one of these horrific crimes and feel blessed that it wasn't *their* child. Then the heads go back into the sand. Where is the sustained outrage that will break the back of these predators? What hope is there for us that we cannot/will not protect our own and others' children?
