J.W. Ledford, who is schueduled to be executed Tuesday, has asked for a high-calorie last meal with three kinds of meat.

The Department of Corrections on Thursday released Ledford’s requested menu: filet mignon wrapped in bacon with pepper Jack cheese, large French fries, 10 chicken tenders with sauce, fried pork chop, bloomin’ onion, pecan pie with vanilla ice cream, sherbert and Sprite.

Ledford has filed a petition for clemency and the State Board of Pardons and Paroles will hear from his lawyers and advocates on Monday. He also has a complaint pending in federal court in Atlanta, saying a death by lethal injection could be horrific

Give him a bowl of ramen and be done with the POS

Give him a JOLT cola instead, kind of a personal joke.

Well I was layin’ in my cell on death row
When I heard the warden say
He said Nick you got one more day
You got one last meal before we carry you away

He said if we ain’t got it son, we’re gonna have to send out and get it
And you don’t have to go, to that electric chair,
until we get back with it.

So I turned to the warden and then I said...
and I said:

Well bring me two dinosaur eggs over easy
Fried in butter, and not too greasy
Mosquito knees and black eyed peas
A little bit of butter on my bee bop beans,
one saber-tooth tiger steak
and a whole hippopotamus well baked .

So go and get my dinner, go, and get my dinner
You ain’t got it, go out and get it
Cause I ain’t goin’ till you get back with it

Now bring me a cup of crocodile tears
I want a purple watermelon and some alligator ears
Two cross-eyed....catfish, and a female banana I sure can’t resist
Now bring me an order of those fried dreams and
A barbequed brick of chocolate ice cream

So go and get my dinner, go, and get my dinner
You ain’t got it, go out and get it
Cause I ain’t goin’ till you get back with it

“also has a complaint pending in federal court in Atlanta, saying a death by lethal injection could be horrific”

I’m sure those who died by his hands thought he was pretty horrific, too. But let’s be nice. Take some of that seized heroin out of the police evidence locker and fire him up with an elephant dose. Two problems solved. No pharm companies needed.

Give him tofu and soy products. Tell him he is improving Earth’s environment.

Interesting...

[bigbob]

No donuts?

To help address that cholesterol issue, they could provide vegetarian versions of the items he has requested (steak, chicken, pork chops, bacon), and that will also serve to disincentivize possible future perps.

 

[Clearly Right]

You beat me to it!    :)

[Chad_the_Impaler]

Idiot! Filet mignon doesn’t go with pepperjack cheese.

[healy61]

He just wants to make a huge mess in his pants when he dies.

[Secret Agent Man]

Scum just needs a quick painless bullet to the head.

[Daniel Ramsey]

Wouldn’t it be ironic if one person asks for puffer fish, and dies ahead of schedule.

[Secret Agent Man]

I might be for that if there was a far faster exception for those caught on recording devices committing the murders, or if they confess to the murder of their own free will. I would,also keep their cells and any visits by family or in common areas wired in case they confess to another inmate they did the murder, and if they do that, appeals process is over and they get executed asap, within a few days, tops.

[DoughtyOne]

I understand your point, and I agree.

Also, if a person is on video committing the crime, all bets are off. Give them 90 days to explain why they shouldn’t be executed and then do it.

As for family visits, I’d give these inmates just as many visits as the victims got.

N O N E !

These guys should get no more consideration than the victim got.

I do not want to see anyone falsely charged and convicted, but enough is enough, and the families and justice deserves better.

[Oshkalaboomboom]

They almost never eat their last meals, the cooks say.

In 1992 when Bill Clinton was first running for POTUS he had to show he was tough on crime and refused a stay of execution for Ricky Ray Rector. Rector had killed 2 people then effectively lobotomized himself in an attempted suicide. When they gave him his last meal he not only ate it, he hid a piece of pie under the bed to eat when he came back from the execution.

[GnuThere]

Screwing the taxpayers literally until the very end.
Maybe this tradition is outdated. Give them a Happy Meal and call it a night.
Or better yet, get Michelle Obama involved and offer them a “healthy” school lunch. And no sugary drinks!

It would have been funny if he'd ordered a Diet Sprite to go along with all that.

He was sentenced to die for murdering his elderly neighbor, Dr. Harry Johnston, in 1992. According to testimony, some of the stab wounds Ledford delivered almost decapitated the 73-year-old physician.
