he looks like a man that spent 2 1/2 years knowing
the grisly details of his daughter's rape and murder. he looks like he is prepared to listen to the courts hand down a sentance of death to the asshole that killed her knowing the guy will sit in relative comfort and safety for the next
13 yrs waiting for a humane death. he looks like he is resigned to the fact that the justice he'd like to have isn't going to happen for way too long and and will scarcely be what the pig deserves for what he did. he looks like just another parent depending on a weak and ineffective system while he does "the right" thing and lets the law prevail when he wants to kill the guy himself as he stated in interviews. he looks like a guy that knows fucking well there is a lot more court to sit through before it's over n in the end his child will still be dead n this country will still be catering to the criminals and not the will of the citizens our courts are supposed to represent.
MARK LUNSFORD, DAUGHTER JESSICA ABDUCTED AND MURDERED: Thank you guys.
COLMES: The nation's thoughts are with you and your family tonight, I wonder what your reaction is to the death sentence for John Evander Couey.
LUNSFORD: Well, you know, I felt it lift a lot off of me when the judge said that he would receive death.
COLMES: So you...
LUNSFORD: I'm sorry.
COLMES: Go ahead, sir.
LUNSFORD: And then I thought about the average day on death row in the state of Florida. It could be up to 13 years. That little girl lived nine years. She had no say about the day that she would die. Why should they have say? We need an express lane. States need to start making statements towards sex offenders and predators and our kids and make examples out of them...
COLMES: I'm guessing, if you had an opportunity to communicate directly with him, there would be a few things you'd want to say?
LUNSFORD: I wouldn't say a whole lot to him, but I would sure try to kill him.
COLMES: You would try to kill him?
LUNSFORD: Oh, most definitely. But, now, I can't do that in a courtroom. I spent two-and-a-half years telling people that we had to walk a line, we had to do things the right way. So I put myself in a position where I couldn't lash out. But to those parents that do, I wished you could have got more than you got from them.
what is he
supposed to look like? he sitting in a court of law watching bullshit joke "justice" handed down. in the past 2 1/2 years it sounds like he's begun to see that the law is part of the problem because the guy that killed his kid isn't going to be punished fast enough or harshly enough and if the courts were on the ball his kid would be alive cuz the guy that killed her has some pretty creepy fucking priors.
On Friday, February 24, 2005, Mark Lunsford's alarm clock went off at 5:00 A.M., his usual work-day wake-up time. Lunsford, 42, drove a dump truck for a company called the Dirt Boys...
... "In case that you're not here when I get done with my bath, I just want to give you a hug and tell you I love you." Jessica was a very affectionate daughter and would often call her father at work just to tell him that she loved him.
yea, sounds like he's trash. jesus.
