I believe that photograph is from 1999 when he got arrested. He was sentenced to death in 2000, so that’s over 20 years waiting. And yes, obesity is becoming a problem inside prisons too (prisonlegalnews.org).
Not sure about death row, but many prisons have a commissary where you can buy junk food with personal funds either brought in with you from the outside or transferred from friends and family outside. Some people don’t get fat -until- they go to prison.
This attempt had nothing to do with the failures of lethal injection. They tried to fill a room with 0% oxygen and it failed spectacularly causing suffering and trauma, but not death.
It’s not the case here, but fuckups tend to happen when the person is morbidly obese and therefore a vein can’t be found.
Not making a point one way or another, just sharing a bit of information. This is a problem in the medical field as well.
I used to think people stay years on death row. Are you saying you can stay morbidly obese on prison food?

Yeah I’m kinda wondering the same.

That’s why I started with “not the case here”.
That’s fair.
