Jessica Lunsford’s Killer: death sentence for John Evander Couey
August 24, 2007 | Filed under News
John Evander Couey is the man convicted of killing 9-year-old Jessica Lunsford and her father (Mark Lunsford) is demanding that he takes his punishment of death and does not appeal.
I find it so hard to even read what this man done to Jessica Lunsford; surely this man should accept his punishment.
John Evander Couey was sentenced to death for his crimes in 2005, but if he appeals it will cause a lot more heartache for a time to come.
What do you think? Will Couey Appeal?

The man should burn for what he did.
Eye For an eye Tooth For a tooth
Bury him alive but first let the inmates at him
No Body should do that to a child
Ok let’s look at the real issue here! Sure he deserves to be removed from society, even die. However what is with the HORRIBLE fact that the press caused this sick man to panic and kill the child? Where were the experts to guide the search and make sure every possible method was used to return the girl home safely. It is psychology 101 not to corner an individual like that.
What about the fact that there is a real disease in our society of men that are sexually dysfunctional with an attraction to children even babies? What are we doing about it? Where can these people go to get help before it escalates into abduction and murder? Alcoholics can go to AA, drug addicts to NA, where is Sexual Dysfunction Anonyms?
I happen to know a man with this disease (molesting a baby and presently in prison for 15+ years), and I also happen to know he reached out for help when he realized his dark thoughts. You can’t imagine the negligence in which his cry for help was treated.
Are our children not worth some investigation on how to treat, medicate, castrate, and institutionalize these sick individuals before they molest or kill children? PEOPLE WAKE UP THEY ARE OUT THERE AND OUR SHAME TO ADDRESSES THE ISSUE IS NOT HELPING.
Are we so ashamed and ignorant that we believe this disease will go away? Have you read history; do you realize how prevalent and how long this problem has existed in OUR CULTURE.
Some kind of “outreach” program with professional help should be available to these individuals to nip potential disastrous results at the bud. Lock them up together, study them, and find out what can be done. ANYTHING pro active.
Honestly, how many news reports are we going to read like this and shake our heads in disbelief and then go about our day?
It makes me angry. WE ARE ALSO RESPONSIBLE, EVERYONE ONE US as we DO NOTHING to prevent this from happening OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
