Obese Man will get Death by Lethal Injection
By Fennster • Oct 10th, 2008 • Category: Odd NewsI had written about this guy about two months ago, Death row inmate to fat to die, and I have an update for you!
A federal appeals court and the Ohio Supreme Court have rejected arguments that Richard Cooey is too obese to die by lethal injection. A three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit joined the Ohio Supreme Court in giving the go-ahead to execute the bastard.
He is scheduled to die Tuesday for killing two University of Akron students in 1986. He would be the first person executed in Ohio since the end of a de facto moratorium on lethal injection that lasted more than a year.
Thank God they gave the go ahead with the execution. I was amazed that this was even trying to be fought in our court system. It’s amazing what are tax dollars do on a daily basis.

This animal needs to be put out of his misery.
He should have been shot in public behind the courthouse immediately after his original conviction. I’ll be glad to supply the ammo.
On second thought, if he’s that fat, let the Ohio corrections officials put him on a Jenny Craig diet. Get this fat fucker down to about 150 and then take him out and shoot him.
I like both ideas! Lets put the two ideas together into one! We will make him loose weight, throw him off the bridge, then people can have a moving target to shoot at…
[...] Mr. Fennster just reported on a fat guy being put to death, so I figured it’d be an excellent time to report a story about another fat ass(I mean [...]
