Top Ten! Death Row Last Meal Requests:

Their time is up, No more appeals, no more stay of executions, it’s time to pay for the crimes they committed (and sadly didn’t commit in some cases!) But in the name of humanity, the condemned were offered a last meal of their choosing which they would feast upon within the last couple of days before their execution. However, in 2011, the State of Texas, USA, the option of choosing your last meal was revoked after Lawrence Russell Brewer ordered a ridiculous amount for his last meal last meal (see below) and then didn’t even take a bite of any of it, stating he wasn’t hungry after all.
