TALLAHASSEE, Florida - (AP) - Prison officials say a convicted sex
offender on death row for kidnapping, raping and burying a Florida
girl alive has died of natural causes.
After John Evander Couey abducted 9-year-old Jessica Lunsford
from her bedroom in 2005, many states passed laws named after her
that impose restrictions on sex offenders.
Department of Corrections spokeswoman Gretl Plessinger says
Couey died of natural causes Wednesday at a Jacksonville hospital.
The 51-year-old had been sentenced to death in 2007.
Plessinger says Couey had been ill for some time. She declined
to provide any specifics, citing a federal law protecting the
privacy of hospital patients.

Vengeance is mine saith the Lord.  Render therefore unto Caesar the things which Caesar’s, and on to God the thing that are Gods. He may have cheated the death he owed man (Caesar), but he will not cheat what he owes his maker. Wishing suffering on /or putting it upon someone is not for us to do but if the scumbag caught fire, we could watch without putting it out as to giving witness to the Lords works.

Jesus loves me and shares my hate?

Thats so sad what happened to sweet jessica. Im glad he was caught and convicted and put in jail. But why couldnt they go ahead and fry him?? Me personally, i would have loved to see him suffer when he died just like he made jessica suffer.

I’m surprised the guy lasted as long as he did in prison. I’m assuming he was well-protected from the general population if he really died of natural causes.  I will never forget listening to him testify matter-of-factly about what he did to that beautiful child.  Stone cold. It sends chills down my spine just thinking about it, and makes me want to keep my children inside the house 24-7.  I very rarely say this, but I’m thinking the world just became a better place without him.

He’s burning…no doubt in my mind!!!

Justice Done.

They should have rushed his sorry carcass to the chair before it was to late.

He deserved a painful death, like the electric chair. It’s needed for people like this. I hope he burns in hell for what he did.
