Executed Thomas Loden 'complained of having too much syrup' during huge last meal
Mirror UK ^ | 15 Dec 2022 | Tim Hanlon

An official at Mississippi State Penitentiary told how Thomas Edwin Loden Jr “was really up and in good spirits and he has a full belly” after being given a last meal before his execution

Loden, who had pleaded guilty to the rape and killing of 16-year-old girl Leesa Marie Gray, became the second inmate executed in the state in 10 years on Wednesday.

He has been on death row since 2001, when he pleaded guilty to capital murder, rape and four counts of sexual battery against Ms Gray.

Loden was given a last meal that included two bone-in fried pork chops, fried okra, a baked sweet potato with butter, Pillsbury Grands biscuits with butter and molasses, peach cobbler with French vanilla ice cream and Lipton sweet tea.

He was really up and in good spirits and he has a full belly, he ate a lot and seemed pretty cool as far as this and so, he was complaining because he had too much syrup, but he was complaining good, he was too full, he couldn’t eat it but he wanted to eat the ... syrup but anyway he had his biscuits

"The okra was good, he liked that, he liked the pork chops … he liked the vanilla ice cream God knows he ate every bit of it up, he enjoyed it, he’s in good spirits as far as I can tell.”

“He was concerned about what he had done and he was ready to do what he had to do, he was accepting and he is in good spirits considering what’s about to happen," another official added.

If I was on death row my final meal request would be fish and chips with lots of tartar sauce and ketchup on the side. Cole slaw and potato salad. Chocolate ice cream for dessert.

The advantage of the last meal is that you don’t have to worry about your cholesterol levels.

Did he afford the little girl he raped and killed a ‘last meal’?

I’m sick of coddling these monsters.

It should never take 21 years to execute someone who pleads guilty!

What, no green vegetables?

It wasn’t for the heartburn, I’d just go with pizza.

He didn't have to worry about suffering indigestion.

Yeah, you can eat all kinds of crappy, greasy, sugary food and not worry about it. Banana pudding seems to be a sentimental favorite.

Okra’s green. It’s just hiding under the cornbread crust.

21 years to wait for justice to be served is not justice for the victim’s surviving relatives and friends.

They could have saved the taxpayers a lot of syrup if they wouldn’t wait so long to carry out the sentence

If it had been my granddaughter, I’d have bailed him out before the trial.

The Texas Department of Corrections maintains a "death row" website which lists the names...and crimes...of those scheduled to die *and* the last words of those who were executed.

As one might expect a good number of them claim,in their statements,that they're innocent and/or that the death penalty is wrong.However,many of them,to my surprise,acknowledge their guilt and also express regret.
