Your execution is today, what is your final meal?
 
I'm too upset to eat....:green:
 
Story time.

I talked to an inmate a few days before he went on final segregation the week before his execution.

Bill was actually OK with the entire thing. He'd been in prison, this time (he was a career criminal with multiple felonies to his credit), for about thirteen years while his attorney filed motion after motion for everything from a new trial to the old standby "cruel and unusual", all the way to the US Supreme Court, Twice. All of which were eventually denied, and he'd told his lawyers to stop just as they were to begin another round of appeals and legal maneuvering. There was a mountain of evidence against him, including DNA and eye witnesses, and the fact that he had been arrested in the car he'd stolen from the victims.

He was tired of the whole thing. If any of his final set of motions had been granted he would have probably seen his sentence commuted to either 'natural life' in prison, or, as in the case of another inmate with big time, well over a hundred years of Mandatory Sentence. His co-defendant fought to the end and maintained his innocence.

In his view of things, if he were going to die in prison, which he knew he was going to, he'd rather it be sooner rather than later.

It was.

About two weeks after I'd talked to him, he 'met his maker'.

I don't know what he had for his last meal.
