Good!!
He will have a much easier death than he gave to Jessica Lunsford.
No tears will be shed for John Couey.
INVERNESS — John Couey will die by lethal injection for the brutal 2005 murder of Jessica Marie Lunsford of Homosassa, a judge ruled today.
The death sentence is something Jessica’s family hoped for.
“I think he needs to stand up and be a man now and take his death penalty . . . and I hope he rots in hell,” Mark Lunsford said, just a day after his daughter’s body was found buried in a shallow grave on March 19, 2005.
Couey, 49, got his death sentence from Circuit Judge Richard Howard at a 2 p.m. sentencing hearing at the Citrus County Courthouse.
Lunsford, along with his parents Archie and Ruth Lunsford also attended the hearing. The courtroom also was packed with law enforcement officials including Citrus County Sheriff Jeff Dawsy, who spearheaded the investigation. [source]

You know, the details are so sickeningly horrific that I kind of wonder how long he will even be allowed to breathe…even tho he will be “safe”. I wish ,for the Lunsfords…that he would do as Mark asked…man up, accept his punishment and be done.
This sob ranks up there with Dahmer and Duncan as far as monsters go.

Let’s hope we taxpayer’s don’t have to pay for his keep for too long. May he rot in hell forever.
