Self-Restraint

The jury for the trial of John Couey has been selected and the testimony has begun. I'm following the procedings at http://www.chronicle-online.com/couey_trial/index.php and http://www.chronicle-online.com/couey_trial/couey_blog/court_blogger.php .

The courtroom blooger (and boy, would I like to have that gig) notes that among the evidence in the courtroom today is a mattress that has not only Jessica's blood on it, but also Couey's semen. I have not doubt that the defense will say that the semen is there because Couey jerked off around the clock.

I've mentioned my admiration and sympathy for Jessica's father, Mark Lunsford. How that man can sit in the same room with that mattress and the man who killed his daughter* is beyond me.

*I don't believe the defense is going to deny that Couey killed her. He admitted it, even though the confession was tossed.
