(#25) William Bonin
- Dec. at 49 (1947-1996)
Executed: 1996. The most famous "Freeway Killer," he tortured, raped, and killed at least 21 boys. He would get male prostitutes, young hitchhikers, and school boys into his truck, rape them, torture them, then brutally murder them, often using their own t-shirts to strangle them.
Last Meal:
Two pepperoni and sausage pizzas, three servings of chocolate ice cream, and three six-packs of Coca-Cola and Pepsi. -
(#9) Ronnie Lee Gardner
- Dec. at 49 (1961-2010)
Executed: 2010. He killed a man during a robbery, then when being transported to a hearing for his crimes, he killed an attorney. He got life in prison for the first, then the death penalty for the second.
Last Meal:
Lobster tail, steak, apple pie, vanilla ice cream, 7-Up while watching Lord of the Rings. Huh. -
(#6) Lawrence Russel Brewer
Executed: Sept. 21st 2011 for the murder of James Byrd. He and two of his white supremacist friends beat him severely, urinated on him, and chained him by his ankles to their pickup truck before dragging him for three miles while he was fully conscious. A curb finally killed him and severed his arm.
Brewer was later arrested. This is the jerk that ruined the whole "last meal" thing for other inmates in Texas. When he got all this, he refused to eat a bite of any of it. This guy was just out to make people angry and hey, mission accomplished. Here's what he ordered...
Last Meal:
Two Chicken Fried Steaks, Triple Bacon Cheeseburger, Cheese Omelet, Large Bowl of Fried Okra, three fajitas, one pound of barbecue w/half loaf of white bread. a Meat Lovers pizza; three root beers; one pint of Blue Bell vanilla ice cream; and a slab of peanut butter fudge with crushed peanuts. -
(#22) Ronald Clark O'Bryan
- Dec. at 40 (1944-1984)
Executed: 1984. He's the reason your parents always checked your candy on Halloween. He killed his 8-year-old son with cyanide-laced candy. He handed out a lot more cyanide-laced candy, yet somehow none of the children ate it and nobody else died at his hands. He killed his own child in order to cash out a life insurance policy.
Last Meal:
T-bone steak (medium to well done), fries with ketchup, whole kernel corn, sweet peas, a lettuce and tomato salad with egg and French dressing, iced tea, sweetener, saltines, Boston cream pie, and rolls. -
(#5) Thomas J. Grasso
Executed: 1995. He strangled an elderly woman using her own Christmas lights, stole $8 from her purse, $4 from around the house and sold her television for $125. He then murdered an elderly male and stole his social security check (even after having been recently married).
Last Meal:
He later complained "I did not get my SpaghettiOs, I got [canned] spaghetti. I want the press to know this."
Two dozen steamed mussels, two dozen steamed clams, a double cheeseburger from Burger King, half-dozen barbecue spare ribs, two strawberry milkshakes, half a pumpkin pie with whipped cream with diced strawberries, and a 16-ounce can of spaghetti with meatballs, served at room temperature.
