Death Row Dude Too Fat to Execute
I reckon this guy has found a good reason to pig out. He now claims he is too fat to be given a lethal injection - he is 5′7″ and weighs 267lbs. He says that executioners aren’t likely to be able to find his veins and his weight may be too much that the drugs won’t be effective.
He bases his claims on the fact that prison officials have not been too successful at drawing blood. He’s also taking a drug for migraines (you get headaches when you are going to die, I suppose) and his lawyers say the drug for his noggin may come in conflict with the lethal injection drugs, too.
The man is being executed for raping and murdering two young women in 1986. His execution is scheduled for Oct. 14th.
How about the prison just starve him to death?
