Death Row Binge

Richard Cooey was convicted in the sexual assaults and slayings of University of Akron students Dawn McCreery, 20, and Wendy Offredo, 21, in September 1986.

The evening before his execution, which had been delayed because he was too fat, Cooey was given a feast fit for a king.

“Cooey dined Monday evening on the special meal he ordered, including T-bone steak, onion rings, french fries, four eggs over easy, toast with butter, hash browns, a pint of rocky road ice cream, a Mountain Dew soft drink and bear claw pastries.”  

Did the girls he murdered get a feast before their deaths?
