As you may know, 9-year-old Jessica Lunsford (search) was kidnapped, sexually assaulted, and murdered. Convicted sex offender John Couey (search) has confessed to the crime.

In the days before Jessica's body was recovered, police visited a trailer close to Jessica's house and asked three people who were living there if they knew anything about the little girl's disappearance. The cops went back to that place three times.

But it wasn't until the third time, after Couey had fled the state, that the three individuals, Dorothy Dixon, Madie Secord and Matthew Dittrich admitted Couey lived in the trailer.

Subsequently, Couey has told the cops he was hiding in that trailer when the police came and the three protected him. Dixon is Couey's half- sister. And the two others know him well. There had to be a reason they didn't mention him to the police.

Initially, those three were charged with a crime, obstructing an officer without violence. But now those charges have been dropped by State Attorney Brad King (search).

From Foxnews.com

These three were first charged with a crime, obstructing an officer without violence. But now those charges have been dropped by State Attorney Brad King.

From O"Reilly........"Talking Points" believes that's outrageous and there is something very wrong going on in Citrus County. King will not talk to the media to explain himself. That's another outrage! Surely he owes the people who elected him a full explanation as to why he's not prosecuting those people. Surely he owes Jessica's family that.

This whole thing's a huge mess. There's no question those terrible people should be charged with obstructing justice and perhaps aiding the crime of murder. Even if those people were acquitted, the prosecution should send a message.

That would be great. He did leave a message for me on my voice mail, but have been unable to reach him again. King does seem to be a conservative leader, so I am very interested to hear why he let these other three go. We now have another girl ( whose remains they may have found ) missing in Florida. Are we angry enough to say enough is enough?????

There needs to be something done with the John Couey's of this world. That little girl was raped and BURIED ALIVE!!! I think the people that he lived with should all go to jail with him and that Jessica's Father allowed to have 10 minutes alone with that piece of -----!!
Please, if there is a petition, I will sign up and I will be contacting Brad King's office, numerous times.........
