The Killer Who Was Too Fat To Die, Part 3

The Killer Who Was Too Fat To Die had his last meal Monday, and calling it Supersized doesn’t begin to do it justice.

Justice, of course, is what the families of his two victims, Wendy Jo Offredo and Dawn McCreery have been waiting for during the last 22 years. He has never denied beating, raping and killing them. This very morning at 10 a.m., the bill for justice, long delayed, will finally come due.

According to the Associated Press, the killer enjoyed a T-bone steak with A-1 sauce, onion rings, french fries, four eggs over easy, toast with butter, and hash browns, and rocky road ice cream and bear claw pastry – and Mountain Dew. (Not Diet Mountain Dew, mind you.)

He had claimed in his appeals that his porcine condition -- 270 pounds on a 5’7” frame – was due to prison food. Perhaps his condition is, instead, a result of his eating habits. (Query: If he really thought his obesity was going to make his eventual execution so much more painful, would he have continued to eat like this?) In any event, the courts declined to find that insertion of an IV needle into an obese man offended the Constitution.

This was actually his second last meal. In 2003, The Killer Who Was Too Fat To Die had a rib-eye steak, two eggs sunny side up, toast with butter, a cheeseburger with the works, onion rings, french fries, two slices of banana cream pie and a couple of 2-liter bottles of Dr. Pepper.

Actually, he apparently gets a third last meal this morning for breakfast. I have been unable to find out what Dawn and Mary Jo had for their last meal. It seems clear that they only got one, and didn’t know it was going to be their last.
