COLUMBUS, Ohio — A death row inmate scheduled for execution in October says he's so fat that Ohio executioners would have trouble finding his veins and that his weight could diminish the effectiveness of one of the lethal injection drugs.

Lawyers for Richard Cooey argue in a federal lawsuit that Cooey had poor veins when he faced execution five years ago and that the problem has been worsened by weight gain.

Throw him into a lime pit and wait until he turns to soap.

They'll have to make sure that they leave him in long enough. Otherwise, he'll only turn British.

sorry...

Maybe he should be sent somewhere to do missionary work. He would object, but too bad. Air drop him into New Guinea.

“No chance of him not dropping hard enough.”

Very true, but there’s a big chance of the rope breaking.

I think he used to ride a cart buying his junk food with a Lone Star card-—at my Walmart.

Too fat. Can't find a vein. Take a foot long length of half inch diameter stainless steel pipe and sharpen it.
Plunge said piece of pipe into the center of his chest and you can now feed him his drugs through a garden hose.
Personally, I would like to stick an ice pick up through the base of his skull and stir it around a bit. That would make a great You tube video.

Take this scum out back and put a bullet in his eye, a very large bullet.

1986.

In my world, this guy wouldn’t have seen 1987, let alone been too fat to be executed in 2008.

.......if the first drug doesn't work, the execution is going to be excruciating,"

Ok, I'm comfortable with that.

lime, it’s slower but just as effective as lye. So he turns into soap scum instead of normal soap. He was scum to begin with.
