A Tennessee convicted child rapist and killer on Wednesday picked a deluxe burger combo as his last meal before his execution -- the first in the state in nearly a decade.
Billy Ray Irick, 59, chose the combo that included a super deluxe burger, onion rings and a Pepsi soft drink, the Tennessee Department of Correction said Wednesday. Irick, who is being held at Riverbend Maximum Security Institution in Nashville, will eat his last meal before his execution, which is scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday.
The name of the restaurant that prepared the meal was not released “out of an abundance of caution,” the department said.
Death row inmates are given a $20 limit to spend on their last meal, the Tennessean reported.
Irick was convicted in the 1985 rape and murder of 7-year-old Paula Dyer, who he was babysitting.
The convicted killer is expected to receive a three-drug injection on Thursday. If Irick is executed, it will be the first time Tennessee has applied the death penalty since 2009.
Irick exhausted all his appeals since being convicted and continued over the years to challenge the drugs Tennessee officials used in lethal injections for death row inmates.
On Monday, the state Supreme Court denied a stay of Irick's execution, saying a lawsuit filed by inmates contesting the execution drugs being used wasn't likely to succeed.
The Supreme Court on Thursday also denied his last-minute request for a stay of execution.

They should have let fellow prisoners take care of him, 30 DAYS after he was convicted.
Not an ounce of pity here for the scumbag.
My only regret is he got the needle instead of Old Sparky. He died a much easier death than that darling angel.
Looks like Jabba the Butt aka Mikey Moore ...
That “Deluxe Burger” will be exploded out into his diapers that they’ll force him to wear. Just ask Ted Bundy as he cried and fought the guards who pinned one on his narcissistic butt.
the punishment should have fit the crime- He should have suffered the same fate his victim did-
It is sickening and evil that such a heinous man lived 33 years after the most brutal of crimes. God is dealing with him now and for all eternity. I weep for that little girl and her family.
The reason that all these gateways have been added is because the pro-death crowd wasn’t all that careful either about how it made its sausage. As we have found the hard way, a sheriff saying somebody’s guilty can be quite wrong.
That’s because while all murderers are horrible people, the right-wing ones are the absolute worst.
May God bless her sweet little soul!
A child rapist and killer. He can’t be dead too soon
Because we have Bush, Clinton, Obama appointed judges!
sounds like this little girl had a dysfunctional family, was not cherished as she should have been...reportedly walked 1/2 mile home in the rain to eat a cold supper of canned corn the day she was killed...
an absolutely precious little girl...
go to hell Billy Ray Irick...
go to hell...
“...a sheriff saying somebody’s guilty can be quite wrong....”
It was more than a sheriff saying he was guilty and 33 years is frickin’ joke.
This POS should have been put down within a couple of years....or less.
And people seem to wonder why some parents take the law into their own hands and kill these bassturds by themselves....can’t say as I rightly blame em a helluva lot with the jacked up, two-tiered justice system we have today.
One thing I learned from another article today (above) in The Tennesseeanis that the little girl's mother and stepfather had reason to believe that Irick was mentally ill, and knew for a certainty, that he'd been drinking and doing drugs --- yet they dumped their little girl in his "care" when they went off to work.
In so many of these hideous situations the parent(s) knew the "babysitter" was grossly unfit but left their child at his mercy anyhow.
I will never be able to understand that in a million years. A mother's instinct to protect her child is just so incredibly strong. But not, I know, for all.
Or at least hold the onions . Wouldn’t want one’s breath to offend
It does in most states
This is how God turns His wrath back from the enemies of the self-righteous... and I hate to say that, but religious self-righteousness is a BIG problem in that vicinity.
Those who want justice should begin by FEARING the LORD themselves. Your proposed plan would only bring wrath back on you.
So sad. How could a mother leave her child with such a deranged evil man. I wouldn’t have let him care for a house plant. It’s insane that sub- human lived off the taxpayer for over 30 years. The girl got no justice from our evil gov’t. I trust she rests in the presence of The Lord Jesus.
This makes my head Hurt.
