When asked by the warden if he had any last words, Miller whose last meal consisted of fried chicken, mashed potatoes, biscuits and coffee said: "Beats being on death row."
He was convicted of killing Lee Standifer, 23, in 1981 in Knoxville. Standifer was a mentally handicapped woman who had been on a date with Miller the night she was repeatedly beaten, stabbed and dragged into a wooded area.
Miller, in a handwritten note last month, requested to die via electric chair, rather than by lethal injection. Inmates in Tennessee whose crimes were committed before 1999 can choose electrocution over lethal injection.
He became the second person to request electrocution over lethal injection in Tennessee, behind Edmund Zagorski, who was put to death on Nov. 1.

I would request an omelet made from 100 year old eggs supplied from my pet chicken.
In these times I could go for the idea of a ‘Devils Island’ type of life sentence. The island needs to be large enough to support the inhabitants via farming. Drop the newly convicted felon into the water about a hundred yards offshore with a backpack of food and tools. Smear chum on his trousers and after he hits the water, remind him that sharks are active in this area.
Poor chicken that was killed for nothing.
Eliminate the last meal. Waste of time, money and the poor chicken.
Popeyes? Mild or spicy?
After they were through with him it was re-fried chicken.
Raw popcorn. Might as well go out explosively on the chair.
I'll agree to ban the death penalty if liberals will agree to ban abortion.
WHEN YOU HAVE DNA PROOF IT SHOULD NOT TAKE OVER 25+ YRS. SHOULD BE INSTANT. Especially if the victim is a 8 yr old he beat, raped, tied in blanket and threw off the Wolf River boat dock to DROWN. Confessed led Leo to sight. 8 yr old Ashley Nichole ‘Nikki’ Read was the victim. Prep had 2 jury trials to boot.
The taxpayers been paying him to live for 36 years, but an innocent baby can be killed whenever the mom wants it murdered.
Murderers should not live more than 5 years...
I heard about this on Stuff You Should Know. Some guys asked for elaborate meals, thus the policy in some states that you get whats on offer that day.
Amen. His victim didn’t get to choose her last meal.
Do they even have mild? :)
Extra crispy.
title makes it sound like the chicken was a wrong choice.
