Seriously, feed him 900 calories a day for 6 months and then kill him. Easy enough.

Why is it the heartless bustards who kill,are always the most cowardly when it is time for them to pay the price of their crime? He had no problems 30 years ago putting 2 bullets in the back of the lady's head. However, the fatal injection does not have to go in his arm veins, they can either use his carotid artery or a massive injection straight into his heart - if the heartless SOB has one.

he gained twice his weight in prison, too bad the food is so good in Ohio prisons - Check with Sheriff Joe Araipo in Arizona for prison food menu selection.

"A condemned Ohio inmate who weighs 480 pounds and has a history of difficulty losing weight argues he would face a "torturous and lingering death" if executed in January"

If he cant fit on the electric chair, or they cant find veins, they should gas his ass.....end of excuses!

Pay for your crimes!

When he shot the victim twice in the back of the head during a stickup, she didnt have a chance to decide on how she was gonna die!!!!!!!!!!

Dig the hole and shoot Post in the back of his head and let him fall in. As others have commented, how in jail is he being so overfed to keep up that kind of weight? I really don't care how he feels about his time to leave this earth. Just get the job done.

Bullets are cheap.

I would be more than happy to supply two bullets with a gun so he can be shot behind his head. I also wouldn't mind pulling the trigger myself.

So for 30 years he has been in prison feeding his face and sitting on his fat a ss so he can use his fatness to keep him from being executed. How about you stick a gun to the back of his head, pull the trigger twice and blow his F'n brains out? That shouldn't hurt to bad now should it? I don't care how you execute him, just do it. He has already had 30 years more life than the lady he killed.

Its already been said a couple of times - just shoot him in the head. Problem solved.

Agreeing with the comments above.....too fat to give lethal injection, fine, use the gas chamber, bullet(s) to the head, can't hang the SOB because there is a chance of decapitation (so what!!).

Yep, been feeding this guy pretty good for 30 years. Time to pay for what you did. Did you give your victim a chance to say how she would prefer to die, nope. Bye, bye......

When I read the article first thing that came to mind was shoot him. I see others agree!

I don't get how criminals think they have any rights. Why is it the victims and their families rights are forgotten. Our system is backwards!

Sounds like grounds to re-instate death by firing squad. Judging from his crime he seems to a supporter of the method.

would make his scheduled execution a 'torturous and lingering death.' --- Let's hope so!

A firing squad will take care of that little problem.

"Indeed, given his unique physical and medical condition there is a substantial risk that any attempt to execute him will result in serious physical and psychological pain to him, as well as an execution involving a torturous and lingering death.

Perfect........

What crime is worse than "killing a hotel clerk", Larry? Are hotel clerks less valuable than some other occupations? A murder is a murder...period!

This Double Stuffed Oreo shot a woman in the back of the head twice, the only problem I see with him suffering a painful death is: It's taken them 30 years to do it.

He sure as hell is not going to be hard to catch, lol. Bon voyage dikhead.

I agree. They should just put a bullet in this guy's head instead. I can guarantee he won't have a lingering death.

He killed a woman with 2 shots to the back of the head...

He should die the same way.

I'll bet a good phlebotomist could tap the carotid artery?

Or he could eat a lethal dose, like they do in assisted suicides? You can even get it in liquid form, I know because I have done hospice work in a state with assisted suicide.

Why limit it, find a way and get 'er done.

He does not deserve special rights, He gave that up when he took someone else's away.

We can control what he eats, and caloric intake ... maybe for him that is punishment on the way ... ?

Serisously, there are so many ways to get the job done and we are letting one method of execution rule the day.

Hang him, with all that weight, his neck is sure to snap ... shoot him, that works on everyone or figure it out. He has been condemned, he has no rights in a sense ...

How in the WORLD do you weigh 480 pounds when you've been sitting on death row for years and eating every meal in your cell?! Someone in the prison system is completely incompetent for this even becoming an issue in the first place.

If this fat slob has a heart attack in prison, I wonder if he'd be screaming to the ER doctors, "It's cruel and unusual punishment" when they try to put in an IV to save his life?

Put some plastic liners in his cell and then blugeon him with a $5 Hammer. Roll him out to the dumpster and be done with it. This is BS and nobody cares if the needle will hurt.

A torturous and lingering death!????

Well, that's exactly what you deserve buddy. Let's get on with it already.

How about a firing squad.. guarantee a high velocity rifle bullet through the heart will penetrate that blubber quite nicely (might need to get something with more velocity and bullet weight than your average M-16) so use something like a 300 Win Mag or if your scared that's not enough ( don't tell an elk that) a 458 Win Mag.

Use more drano.

So a convicted, lard ass, POS murderer is concerned he might suffer a bit? What a freaking surprise. I wonder what the woman, WOMAN he shot thought as he pulled the trigger twice? You cowardly, miserable bastard, you shoot a WOMAN in the head twice and you expect ANYONE to feel sorry for you?

Tell ya what, fat a$$, the Army maintains a firing squad at Ft Bragg, we'll just send them along with their 7 30-06 rifles and your demise will come swiftly on the appointed day and time. Instead of lethal injection of three chemicals, we can change it to lethal injection of 6 30 caliber bullets to you black and worthless heart, how's that? Hell the coroner can even put the cause of death as acute lead poisoning.

There is always Kansas preferred death penalty, Hanging. After all, according to Thomas Jefferson, "Nothing improves the disposition of a scoundrel quite like hanging him." You will die for your crimes, as prescribed by a jury of your peers, there are always alternatives. Fear not, we will make is as painless as possible, although you deserve a slow, lingering, horrifically painful death for your cowardly act of shooting a innocent woman in the head,,,,,,, twice. I hope you suffer greatly due to a malfunction of the machine.

IXLR8,

Excellent idea but the damn aclu would b!tch about the inhumane way of killing him. After all we can't have these people feel pain, now can we?

Bruce, I couldn't agree more. The prison system has to answer for his weight problem. This guy didn't get to be 480 lbs. on his own. Someone had to supply him with a hell of a lot of food in order for him to weigh that much. Just to maintain that amount of weight one has to eat a ton. Nice way for them to spend our tax dollars, folks. This is absolutely ludicrous.

Yeah, what's wrong with a good old fashioned firing squad. It's relatively quick and painless (having a dozen or so sharpshooters aiming at your heart), that's more humane than what he did to that poor woman. I always thought executions were TOO quick and painless. I mean you use executions as a deterrent against crime. Nobody wants to die, and certainly nobody wants to die a slow painful death, what could be a better deterrent than that?

Oh for heavens sake! I have tiny veins that are hard to access but it didn't keep me from having necessary medical procedures. They stick me multiple times every visit. That is a ridiculous excuse. So what if it takes hours? He has had 30 more years of life than his victim and is begging for the state to give him more time. Well, there is your "more time".

Firing Squad

2 shots to the back of the head like he did his victim. Humane and quick. no suffering and it doesn't matter how big he is.

hodgie,

I was thinking the same thing. My veins roll and it takes forever to get a needle in.

If this guy gets away with this, all any death row inmate has to do is gain weight to get out of an execution.

What I want to know is, how the f@@k did he get to 480 pounds living off prison food? So we really feed them that well in our prisons? That's the messed up part about all of this, and now he is using that as an excuse............................

Firing Squad. At his size, they wouldn't even have to be good shots.

Oh no you're not, fat boy. It's the grease that makes frying so effective.

I agree 100% Firing squad. Lay out a tarp to be picked up by a forklift when he falls.

Besides, at 480lbs, he's a pretty big target, not likely anyone will miss.

A few rounds through the heart. Quick, yes. Painless? Who cares?

I got an idea, put a piece of plastic on the floor and slit his throat. You'll save the gurney and pine sol is all u need for clean up. And if it's a big enough piece of plastic u might not even need the pine sol. Just a thought.

WHO CARES!?! Was he sympathetic when he murdered someone and still got to live another 30 years? Let him fry and feel every ounce of pain his fat ass deserves!

Punisher,

re post 1.35

He probably got that fat by working in the kitchen and stuffing his face all day long as he worked. Or maybe he has some crazy chick "penpal" who provides him with money or food. Of course, he may also have gotten it from donations from other prisoners- one fluid ounce of high protein jizz at a time. ;>)

Lace a few Big Macs with cyanide and he'll be gone in about 2 minutes.

just shoot his fat ass in the face and the problem will be solved.

He says he is too depressed to control his eating on his own. He is inside his cell, so why are they bringing him so much food that he can weigh almost 500 pounds? If they only bring him even 2,500 calories worth of food a day he couldn't possibly maintain that much fat, no matter if he doesn't exercise at all. He can't eat what they don't bring him. It's not like he can call and get pizza or chinese delivered to his cell.

What crime is worse than "killing a hotel clerk", Larry? Are hotel clerks less valuable than some other occupations? A murder is a murder...period!

What could be worse that killing a hotel clerk. How about killing a man and his wife in their home?

I believe you're missing my point or are you saying a hotel clerk is more valuable than my wife and I. The court puts a high value on crime against a business as opposed to a person. They will give a man 25 years or less in prison for killing a bank teller at home but execute a man for killing the same bank teller on the job yet a murder is a murder.

These individuals are all alike. Killing them is "cruel and unusual". Look at the tiny davis execution on google: Now THAT IS PUNISHMENT; they turned the voltage down to 1400volts from 2500volts; Mega Pain. For once jeb bush did something right. this clown won't fit the chair? Be nice Just say NO...Nitrous Oxide - laughingGas....TOTALLY painless; not a whimper and gone in 5 minutes.

Gumdrop - I take joy in the fact that because of his weight he may die a rather painful and lingering death ....the more painful and lingering the better i will feel for the young life he took 30 years ago.

By the way ...30 years on death row ? WTF ??????

feed him mcdonalds for every meal that will kill him eventually.

gumdrop...if one of your loved ones is killed you'll feel differently

So be it...a long torturous death it is... I am sick and tired of extremists using the system to get away with murder - literally. This is worse than the judge ordering the state of Mass to pay for an inmates sex change. Where will this BS and lack of common sense end?

who still uses the gas chamber???

that would work

geez. One bullet, done.

I fail to see the problem here other than it should never have taken 30yrs to end this POS. A bullet will do just fine and there will be no lingering suffering or anything. Yup we have ones that will go thru concrete walls so there will be no issue whatsoever about it going thru this fat turd. It is time we stop babying these killers. If there is 100% certainty then punishment should be handed out the day after the trial and does not need to involve any special equipment. Lead shot, one and done. Then we all try to move on and victims loved ones can try to start the healing process.

sniper attitude; 1 shot 1 kill! problem solved. end of story.

Put 2 in the back of his head, its painless, won't ever even know it happened.

he gained twice his weight in prison, too bad the food is so good in Ohio prisons - Check with Sheriff Joe Araipo in Arizona for prison food menu selection. Yup ol' Joe believes in protein protein protein!!! Lots and lots of Pnut butter.

If the big bad wolf is afraid of needles ( as am I ) perhaps we can arrange a 50 calibur firing squad for him.

You know what they could do? ( yes I do have a dark side ). They could use the same gun on him that he used on that poor woman, and put two shots in the back of his head!!!

We could be humane about this and still get the job done. Feed him 10,000 calories a day and he'll be gone in 3 months.

This way you don't have the tree hugger's all over you for putting an ounce of lead in the back of his head. Simple humane solution. (Even though he doesn't deserve a drop of humane)

Death by food!!! Let the lard-asss rot in a pile of his own excrement! Make him eat McDonald's cheese burgers till his insides rupture. Then he'll experience a lingering ensuffering death!

"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! It would be torture!"..... GOOD!

(yawns)

If he can't be executed by normal means, I'm sure we can find an old harpoon gun from a museum somewhere and get the job done.

A bullet or two to the head won't let him suffer to much, and don't tell him so he won't know it is coming. just like the person in the convenient store

I have a lot of trouble getting needles into my veins as well. Make sure this creeper has been very well hydrated before execution day, it'll help alot. Make sure they have a real good phlebotomist with lot's of experience in hitting the difficult veins. They are out there thank-god!!!! Worked woth folks with disabilites for 24 years and had to take folks for blood draws frequently. THe more experienced and patient they are the easier it is to get the needle in. Was in the hospital once. The first nurse attacked my arm over a 45 min period and couldn't get the IV in. FInally.....some one with experience came along and hit the vein on the 1st try!!!!

This is NO excuse TO keep this guy alive. Build a special gurney to take his weight, make sure you get good medical personnell, get him on a damn diet, make sure he is hydrated before execution day. I'm sure the doctors can look at other cases and figure out the best dose to inject this sob with. IF they mess it up and it takes too long, it hurts etc.. I have absolutely NO sympathy!!!!!! He had no sympathy, no compassion.. forthe woman he murdered or her family and friends!!!! He doesn't deserve any in return. The taxpayers have supported his life for 30 years now. ENOUGH IS EHOUGH. tHERE IS NO DOUBT HE DID THIS CRIME!!!!

Will a S&W 50 with hollow point shells in the back of the head work? Quick, Painless, brain mush - and CHEAP.

Since Prison food made him so fat, let's wire his mouth shut & save money (our tax dollars) and let him fade away . Bread & water optional.

Why not half starve a few elephants, stuff a peanut up this guys ass and toss him in the pen with the elephants and tell him to run. I am sure he will loose the weight pretty quick, if not, the elephants will tear him a new ass.

Or we could slather the fat bastrd in some bacon grease, take him out to the Bob Marshal Wilderness and turn him loose. Either the bears, the wolves, or the coyotes will take care of the rest. But I am sure PETA will complain because you shouldn't feed SHT to the animals.

The old stand by, which is one that I endorse and has been echoed here a number of times, killers should suffer the same fate, the same method of execution as they themselves used against thier victims. Psychological torture? give me a break. I am sure his victim wasn't dancing a jig when he committed his crime, and I am sure the family of the victim sure as hell doesn't care about his weight issue. The only issue is why it has taken so long to execute this piece of garbage.

Time to drop the tamborines, the flower power, powder puff hugging a tree crap. Thin the herd of the ones that prey on the others. This jackwagon needs to be culled.

ACLU is aways complaining that the justice system needs to be more flexible with its sentencing. Ok, firing squad, hanging, gas chamber, burn at the stake..... I'm all for flexibility.

I was wondering how long it would take the pie-in-the-ski bleeding hearts to put in their sob story. Gumdrop, I think you take the booby prize. Shooting, frying, hanging, starvation, who cares? Just get rid of the POS bastard.

This murderer's whole defense is BS. They should execute the attorney that agreed to waste the courts time with this case, right along side this fat ass animal.

Gum Drop you can always move to another country. How about Norway where that killer massacred 77 people and only got 21 years. You could move there and wait for him to get out and make you his next target.

1000 calories a day until Jan. and if they need to, wheel him in on a large animal gurney and get a zoo vet to inject the iv. In this piece of crap's case put in 3 or 4 no such thing in over kill in his case. Just get the job done!

For those of you wondering how he got so fat off prison food, I can sort of offer an answer. I worked in a prison here in Missouri and if Ohio is anything like Missouri, then I can see how he got that fat. When I worked there, we had a Canteen that the inmates could purchase food from. Everything from Ramen noodles, candy bars, chips, cheese sauce, little sausages, and loads of jerky products. They were allowed to spend $200 per canteen trip which was usually once a week. If they were confined to their cell, staff went and got whatever food they ordered. You may wonder "where did they get the money from?" You would be surprised on how many women and family members of these men send them every penny they have. I knew one inmate in my housing unit who had 3 different women sending him money every month. Then his family would also send money. It's really a joke!

As far as the story, they should have killed his A$$ 30 years ago. And I really don't care how they do it, just get it done.

I believe that anyone sentenced to death needs to be dead with in 1 year of the day he was sentenced. They can appeal during this time, but not longer than that year. It's a joke that they sit on death row for years and we have to pay for them.

I really hope the family of this woman who he killed can find peace. It may sound weird, but I pray for his family also because it can't be easy knowing your brother/son/nephew is a heartless killer.

Oh, One more thing, Gumdrop. You say the death penalty is not a deterrent. If the cry baby ACLU and their criminal loving wimp lawyer co-horts would allow the states to execute these scumbags in a timely manner, months instead of decades, you could bet your pink drawers it would be a deterrent. If the killers knew they would die instead of being fed by the tax payers for years you better believe a lot of them would think twice about coldly taking an innocent person's life. And don't give me that BS about it being more expensive to execute a person that it does to feed him for 30 years. Give them a reasonable amount of time for appeals and then, bye bye, lights out.

You think it's a deterrent because you're logical. Most killers aren't thinking logically and assume they won't get caught.

Give the executioner a 9mm pistol, if they can't find a vein within 5 minutes, shoot him through the head, if they do find a vein and his whining is too annoying after he begins the well-deserved slow, painful death, -then- shoot him in the head. best of all, his fat a$$ can't protect his brain from a bullet, you'll only need one, and it'll cost you about 18 cents...

I bet if they cut out his stomach he will lose weight really fast.

The law and justice can be circumvented by obesity? If the medical care excludes bypass surgery, then take charge of his caloric intake. Or reinstate the firing squad.

Like many have already said, two to the back of the head. I sure hope you have an elephant gun to take that lard a$$ down.

It's been 30 years in prison since he commited the crime. Why are we crying for his death?

Once again a murderer who showed no mercy is wanting it for himself.

The guerney won't hold him? The floor will! Just lay him on the floor on a sheet of plastic. Problem 1 solved.

It will give him an owey to get an IV inserted? Use a local while inserting the IV. Problem 2 solved.

He's depressed? What about his victim's family? He won't be depressed once he's dead. Problem 3 solved.

Now that HIS concerns have been resolved, the prison needs to resolve the concerns of his victim's family and the taxpayers. As they say "GIT ER DONE!!!"

Personally I think that murderers should die the same way that they killed. I will gladly give the two bullets to the prison to use. Nice 357 magnum hollowpoints. However, it the prison wants to save a few bucks, I would also gladly loan them a plastic bag to put over his head.

This is Amerika - trash that pakistani-mob-mentality & remember "Mercy & compassion are the hand maidens of justice". The next of kin should look him in the eye, say "you are forgiven" and when he turns around - the double tap to the head. No pain, total compassion, minimal karmic blowback.

If this man had a heart attack or some other medical emergency, it might take multiple attempts to get an IV in. Should they just do nothing so he doesn't suffer? (sarcasm)

How do you gain that much weight on death row? They never found the guy he shared the cell with.

You know, he did want that gastric bypass surgery. They can always do a cut down to get to a vein. Why, there will be no problem at all finding one on his appointed day to meet his Maker. Just consider it his day to lose all that weight he wanted all at once! Enjoy his last meal and go to sleep. No sir, no worries at all. That should ease him mind. Just reminw him of that surgery he requested and let him know they are doing the first part of it finally. I can hear them now. "You might feel just a tiny sting but try to relax!"

put him in a basement cell,with a paper cup,a slow drip water pipe and let him starve to death. Then check on him every 6 weeks until he is dead.Weight loss and death sentence,at same time.If he wants to end it faster give him a brokenbottle.

tommy lee- double stuffed? more lke quad stuffed..soon to be lead stuffed.(if needles wont work they can use bullets. heard that a 380 round will go clean though doughboy or anyone his size.)

cant find veins ??? there are 400 pound people in the hospital everyday with IV lines. why cant a central line be put in ???????? This is just an excuse to pospone the inevitable.

Goons, do NOT collapse Gumdrop #1.43. He is the ONLY one who demonstrated the attribute of mercy and compassion!

"...any attempt to execute him will result in serious physical and psychological pain to him, as well as an execution involving a torturous and lingering death," the filing said."

I guess the article was coming up one word to short or something. I would think that 'Execute' and 'Psychological pain' would be a given to anyone about to be put to DEATH! lol

Dominic: "gumdrop...if one of your loved ones is killed you'll feel differently"

Not necessarily. One of my loved ones WAS killed and I don't feel differently. Somehow killing her killer won't bring her back to me. Now life in prison--I have no problem with.

And after all, Jesus was killed by capital punishment.

I don't understand how the SC of one state can authorize a sex change operation for an inmate, but they can't do a bypass on this pos....or just put him on a diet and stop his canteen privileges. Too fat to execute??? That would be funny if it were not for the suffering of his victims it has caused. His knees won't allow him to excersize??? Well, that is because he is too damn fat. For health reasons he should be put on a veggie diet. Too fat and depressed to quit eating...same excuse some use for welfare (not all by any means). Execute him and he won't be depressed and he will definitely quit eating. This is just ridiculous!!! 30 years is also a slap in the face to his surviving victims. What about their rights??/

Why does the article say "he is due to be excuted on Jan.1983"? This is a typo I'm sure! Who cares how its done, just "gitr done" I'm sure the victim with 2 bullets in her head "suffered" Why shouldn't he?

Harvest his body parts let's be kind Christians about his exit. He can save 4-5 people with

his organs. At least he can die knowing he helped some people. To just kill him is and not

recycle his organs is EVIL. He need a purpose. Even if he is a POS Fat A$$ MO FO low life scum

bag looser.

All great ideas how to rid the world of this unsightly fat, no good for nothing slob. Lets go beyond a firing squad for this slime ball. Place him in a glass box (COFFIN), arms tied to his side and load the box with FIRE ANTS. This would not be humane, but give him what he deserves....PAIN & SUFFERING...period. No need to fit him for a new wooden box; that's an extra expense.

Precisement!

Agreed.

"I'm too obese to be executed?"

Then why don't we just put a bullet through your brain?

He is playing the system. Why does he think we have sympathy for him ? How many of us care whether he lingers or not ? by the way, it is an ignorant statement. You can always find a vein. The ones in the neck are awesome and all you do is double or triple the dose of the meds. That's all. He has no argument, whatsoever. Not a problem killing a fat man.

Build a bigger chair, fry his ass and watch the fat burn for three days... bring marshmallows!

hook him up and start with one volt and then don't stop till you reach 60,000 volts and watch the fat just melt away................

Hmmm..........instant weight loss too! I like it.

Fat burns, toss him into a power company furnace, should have enough fat to last a couple of hours to light up your homes - look at the oil saved.

u guys have the same ideas as i do, bullet through the head, firing squad, or off with his head, those ideas would work just as good. i say we contact the people we need 2 up in ohio and tell them we have other ideas 2 solve this "problem". he just doesnt want 2 be executed and continue having the tax payers pay 4 his "3 hots and a cot" probably more than 3 meals is my guess

Leave him on the floor and inject his femural artery.

@denver, with air.

Just leave the b@st@rd on the floor... and watch him starve.

Wire his mouth shut? Feed him bread in water through a straw. I bet it won't be long before he wants to be executed...

Einstein - yeah, then he could bounce to death!

If you push him off the roof his fat a ss might bounce.

Yeah, but at least the guards could run a pool on how many times he will bounce.

The roof idea is definitely a win-win. A few guards will win some extra cash and the sh!tbag will finally be put down.

He may not bouce but break ground enough to bury himself at the same time. Bonus.

and it won't cost taxpayers any money

DAKOTALEE13:

That's a great idea (kind of funny), but he'd most likely just bounce and wouldn't die. (But by bouncing he'd probably kill someone in the process.)

Good point - his forehead does not look obese. The old ways are sometimes the best ways.

It's his fault. If he wanted a nice pretty execution he should have worked for it.

You get what you deserve.

Exactly - bullets don't care how much you weigh.

I dunno. He looks like a fat head to me.

He is worried about his pain....what about the 30 years of pain he has caused his victims family.

Just immagine if we practiced literally "an eye for an eye"! I garantee you there would be FAR LESS CRIME!

bullets are cheaper than the lethal injection serium anyhow.

.

Bullets are cheap, re-loads are cheaper. Shoot twice in the back of the head. Be done with it.

I'm sure if they cut off his arm, they could find a vein easily.

Rick great idea. My question how did this lard ass's weight get to be 480lbs? To gain one pound a person has to consume 3, 500 calories! Assuming he is 280lbs over weight he had to eat a total of 980,000 calories..................looks like we the tax payers paid for this, too.

This article disgusts me!

My sympathy to the son of the woman who was killed 30 years ago.

"...severe depression has contributed to his inability to limit how much he eats, his filing said."

This whole situation is bs. Since when do prison inmates have an all-you-can-eat buffet? This lard-ass doesn't need to be able to limit how much he eats, he's in prison, fer pete's sake! All his actions are monitored and controlled by the prison staff, why the hell don't THEY limit how much he eats? I agree, starve him until he's down to normal weight (shouldn't take more than a month or two) and then execute him. Why is it that none of our civil service administrators have any common sense anymore?

Unfortunately the a.c.l.u. would sue the prison if they starved him to execute him just as they would have sued if the prison didn't give him as much food as he wants. Some ass of a judge would side with him! The problem is, there are too many people like GUM DROP in this country. I say anyone who feels sorry for these people should have to live with them. When they are victimized, they will most likely change their tune. BTW, a vein cut down works every time. EXECUTE HIS FAT A@@!

Hey...They give all inmates the same amount of food. It is his commisary privileges that need to be taken away. They can't prevent him from buying more food if he has the funds in his account unless there is a solid reason....I think that his health issues are a good enough reason to limit his food consumption. If he gets so depressed that he kills himself....well...seems like the very definition of win-win to me.

Holly. Well said!

I am disgusted with murders who say, it will hurt to die or it is inhumane. What is humane about being shot with two bullets to the back of the head? I am sure he thought about that!

give him a phone and robocall him to death

again thats too painful and unusual punishment even in his case.......

Darthdon:

That's a good one!

Rick roll him to death... God that may be the most horrible way to execute someone I know of. Well either that or Barney videos until he dies.......

Darthdon: "Cruel and unusual punishment" is unconstitutional

No kidding. He obviously isn't in that much mental anguish if he is worred about HIS suffering.

One word. Liberals.

Jon Jones:

Don't get political here.

Just because one is liberal does NOT mean s/he wouldn't like to see this moron die a painful death--firing squad or hanging, etc. He needs to suffer a painful death.

Catjmj. Great! You said it perfectly............a lot of people are difficult "sticks".............but, they do it!

Sorry, but as a liberal bodybuilder, I wouldn't condone anyone allowing themselves to get morbidly obese, let alone while they're in prison :p

No can do PJ. Prisons aren't allowed to starve inmates.

I had a similar thought - he wants gastric bypass surgery. So tell him we've granted his request. Open his belly up and then say - "Hey here's this big ass vein right here we can use and give him his long overdue shot!"

Don't they have to find a vein and give you anesthetic for gastric bypass surgery ? Surely there must be another painless method to carry out the death sentence.

Shoot him in the back of the head. He won't feel a thing.

Drop him off in front of a mosque wearing a T-shirt that reads "Muhammid loves little boys and goats" He wont last a minute.

Sadly, No, unfortunately this is the state of the justice? system. Coddle the criminal, punish the victim. It's high time to reverse this situation. The condemned are guaranteed a speedy trial and execution. It's a bout 29 years, 364 days past due. Bring in the firing squad. A 30-06 will kill far heavier things than this useless lump, 6 bullets will take him out just as efficiently.

I can bring a down a moose with an arrow. A gun shouldnt have a problem.

Hey Nico!! Why would you need six bullets?? One good shot should do it. Don't waste ammo like that. It is getting expensive. They don't use the phase "execution style" for nothing. The mobsters had their poop in a group when it came to killing--unless it got personal, then it got messy. One shot. One kill. Back of the head just at the base of the neck....That is where all involuntary body functions are fueled--like breathing and heartbeat. Painless, as the spinal cord is imediately severed from the brain....with a 30 06 or better. His 30 years on death row is ridiculous and actually more cruel and unusual than getting er done. He has a date set for January. Make him keep it.....finally....and give this family some justice.

Ted, Thank you for putting my sentiment so well. 30years of incarcerationand now he scheduled to for execution? Something that should have happened at least 25 years ago?

In order for any punishment to be a deterrent it must be swift.

justice delayed is justice denied .....

As usual. This execution is about 29 years, 364 days late. It should be conviction, three appeals in no more than a year., execution. In the case of DNA proof that indicates a certainty of exclusion greater than the population of the planet, appeals are deemed pointless, than move directly to conviction, execution. Use the money not spent feeding and housing these Neanderthals to feed the poor and on education.

And with this swift execution, how do we correct a mistake. Oh new evidence came about 6 months after the execution. Sorry your dead, but at least your are innocent. Killing people is never a good answer.

Gum Drop, killing predators is always the best answer. Ever wonder why the murder rate per capita had increased over the decades? Lack of swift, sure and severe punishment! If you are worried about innocents convicted then use it only where ther is no doubt of guilt. There are a lot of those. BTW, just because someone's case gets thrown out on appeal, doesn't mean they are innocent. They wait until witnesses are gone or memories dim or evidence is gone and get cases thrown out on a technicality. With noo way to retry them, they are let go. Supporting this animal and providing him medical care and legal defense for 30 years is outrageous! Convict them and if there is no doubt, take them to the freshly dug grave and put a bullet in the back of their head so the fall into the hole. Do this the next day. The victim would have loved to put off her execution date for 30 years!

Was he too obese to kill that women...apparently not!!! Let him fry!

Study after study has shown that capital punishment is not an indirect deterrent to crime...You folks are just going to have to accept that, because it is true. It is also much more expensive because of the appeals processes. It IS however a DIRECT deterrent. One is certain that this person (the condemned) will never harm another human being. After the Huntsville Seven escaped from death row, it shows that there is always a possibility that these people will do more harm if they are allowed to live...and they do. They need to abbreviate the appeals process and put it on fast forward and get this done in timely manner. For the victims to wait for 30 years for justice to (maybe) be done is cruel and unusual punishment for the survivors....Take the direct deterrent argument....It has some teeth. Most criminals don't think that far ahead and, if they do, they don't think they will get caught, and if they do, they know that they will probably die before we kill them...of natural causes. This is an embarassment for our justice system. I believe in appeals, just get them done and move one with the punishment in a timely manner.

You're right, this is hogwash. Potassium will stop his heart no matter if he's the size of a whale.

Better yet -- tie the rubber cord around his throat and then wait a few hours.

Steven...They feed all inmates the same amount of food unless there are religious differences or some serious health situation--like diabetes, for example. Still, in most cases, they require the inmate to order a veggie plate. They have commissary privileges and must have money in their account in order to get extra food. For health reasons, I don't see why the prison isn't taking care of his health better. His depression can be medicated with something other than food and it would be considered situationally induced and normal to most therapists. The family of the victim has waited far too long to be told that he has gorged himself for thirty years out of his death sentence. Would you want to deliver that news to the son who lost his mother to this jerk? I wouldn't.
