Couey confession tossed out
Straight from Tampabays10.com: “Inverness, Florida – There’s a major new development in the John Couey murder trial. When he was arrested in Georgia last spring, Couey confessed to investigators that he kidnapped and murdered 9-year-old Jessica Lunsford. This morning, a judge threw out Couey’s confession because after his 2005 arrest, Couey asked to speak to a lawyer and his request was denied. It was shortly after that he confessed the details of the crime. This is a victory for John Couey’s defense team, simply because prosecutors cannot play an audiotape of John Couey’s voice admitting to the crime.
