A story in the Canadian press about an Ohio prison inmate states that, “A death row inmate 
scheduled for execution says he’s too fat to be put to death, claiming executioners would have trouble finding his veins and that his weight could diminish the effectiveness of one of the lethal injection drugs.” The death penalty is no laughing matter, but if death row inmate, Richard Cooey is able to “escape” execution because of his obesity that it opens the possibility that every prisoner sentenced to death by lethal injection will gorge himself or herself to the point that they could make the same plea.
