The jury hearing the trial of John Couey, accused of mudering 9-year-old Jessica Lunsford, is deliberating.
Overwhelming physical evidence and a sex offender's own admissions are enough to convict him of murdering the girl by burying her alive in trash bags, a prosecutor told jurors Wednesday.

Evidence presented at trial included DNA from Jessica's blood and Couey's semen on a mattress in his bedroom as well as Jessica's fingerprints in a closet where she was allegedly hidden. Jail guards and investigators testified that Couey repeatedly admitted details of the slaying after his arrest, insisting that he hadn't meant to kill the third-grader but panicked as police searched for her.

I would love to be the one digging the hole to bury thus creep alive if that was my daughter.
