Richard Cooey, who weighed 267-pounds (121-kilograms), had argued in numerous legal challenges that his weight problem would make it difficult for prison staff to find suitable veins to deliver the deadly chemicals, a problem that had delayed previous executions in the state...
The gist of it was that a guy convicted of killing two college students in Ohio tried to argue that he was too fat to be executed. The strapped him in and he yelled and screamed at the prison staff, and still wouldn't apologize for killing anyone.
And now I'll sit and wait for this guy's family, and 9 girlfriends to wander into this thread and threaten my life for no reason.
If you make it to death row, you're usually guilty -- in some rare cases, not of the specific crime for which you were convicted, but of being a shitbag in other crimes they couldn't prove.
