[history]
A federal judge said on Monday that an Ohio death row inmate weighing more than 450 pounds cannot be given a stay of execution because of his obesity.
Ronald Post, 53, is scheduled to be executed January 16 for the 1983 aggravated murder of hotel clerk Helen Vantz in Elyria, Ohio.

Lawyers are just doin’ their job, trying to get the best outcome for their clients. Guilty or innocent would you want your lawyer to do less?

These lawyers at KLUTZ, DUMBKOPF & SHTOOPID must have taken the bar by correspondence course, must have taken exam many times before they passed. Is this the best defense they could conjure up?
Your Honor, I wish to petition the court to delay the execution of my client as his poor physical condition puts him at risk of dying.

One balogna sandwich per day and he would have lost weight in 15 years, guaranteed! BOLOGNA SANDWICH
> Buy some ham or bologna (one pack) and some bread (one loaf) and buy a little jar of mustard. Then you make yourself a bologna sandwich. Put the bread down on the table, put the bologna on it. Spread the mustard on the bologna. Put another piece of bread on the bologna, then eat it with some milk. Then clean up.

My guess would be he’s been buying up lots and lots of goodies from the commissary. From what I’ve read, most prisons have a canteen or other store where you can buy things like ramen noodles, snacks, etc. They’re paid for through an account funded either by your prison job wages or (more often) by friends and family who put money in it for you. Post has probably been stuffing his face with as much as he can afford to buy from the place.

Supersize the electric chair.
Seriously, he wasn’t too fat to commit murder, he’s not too fat to pay the penalty.

I was talking to a guy who runs a crematorium furnace. He said they tried to burn a fat guy thinking it would just take longer. Wrong. He said the liquified fat poured out of the oven and flooded the room, and the chimney caught on fire and smoked like a volcano. Half the town showed up thinking there was a pig roast. They sub out the fat ones now.
To: Venturer
Maybe they were trying to execute him by using obesity, hoping he would eat enough to explode.
Could happen.

Yep. Nitrous Oxide is often the preferred method of suicide for Dentists. Painless. They are usually found in the patients’ chair with the mask on.
