Is this really an excuse? Why was Richard Cooey, who was sentenced to die for raping and murdering two young women in 1986, given so much food that this 5 foot 7 inch man was able to EAT his way to 267 pounds? Did prison officials not notice the Incredible Growing Man on death row?
Once again an evil and violent killer is allowed to eat better than poor children across the United States. Who is paying for this? With their taxes dollars the parents of poor starving children in the U.S. are helping to feed prisoners more food than they can afford for their own children. Why do we treat death row inmates better than we treat our own neighbors in this country?
They claim that “…if the first drug doesn't work, the execution is going to be excruciating”. Is that really our concern? Was he worried how “excruciating” the death he inflicted on those two young would be? Why should he be treated better than the way he treated those two young women? How about treating evil violent killers like, oh, I don’t know, EVIL VIOLENT KILLERS?
Maybe if his execution is EXCRUCIATING the next killer might think twice about needlessly taking a fellow citizens life.
