INVERNESS, Fla. - A convicted sex offender was sentenced Friday to death for kidnapping 9-year-old Jessica Lunsford, raping her and then burying her alive in his yard.

John Evander Couey looked straight ahead as Circuit Judge Ric Howard told him he should be executed for the 2005 crimes that led to new laws in many states cracking down on convicted sex offenders.

Couey's attorney had argued that he couldn't legally be executed because he is mentally retarded, but Howard brushed aside that claim in a strongly worded ruling earlier this month.

Couey, 49, said earlier this week in a recorded jailhouse conversation with his aunt that he expected the decision and regretted his act.

“I kick myself in the butt a hundred times a day,” Couey said. “I just keep asking myself, Why were you so stupid?”

I need to believe that there's a special place in hell for him and others like him.

Stupid is an understatement, can't even think of a word for him.
