COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- 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.
Lawyers for Richard Cooey argue in a federal lawsuit that Cooey -- 5-feet-7 and 267 pounds -- had poor veins when he faced execution five years ago and the problem has been worsened by weight gain.
The lawsuit, filed Friday in federal court, also says prison officials have had difficulty drawing blood from Cooey for medical procedures.
Cooey, 41, is sentenced to die for raping and murdering two young women in 1986. His execution is scheduled for October 14.

the fact that he's fat is more of a reason for him to be put out of his misery.

Did you hear about this 1/2 ton woman who got arrested in her house and they had to tear down a wall to get her out?

i didn't hear about that omg, but i am confounded with these rather well-upholstered people. i saw a show on this guy who could hardly turn on his other side but somehow he becomes twinkle toes in the middle of the night and finds all the treats and nibbling treasures.
the nurses made sure it was all well away from him. how does that happen?? are they friends with magic elves?
- Probably the elves think the guy is Santa.omgitsacamera

Fill his cell with krispy kremes daily and see if he can eat his way out.
Cheaper and slower death. Everyone wins.

He raped and killed 2 women? Just cut his dick off and let him bleed out. End of story. Problem solved.

Too fat to be killed?! There's no such thing. Anybody with a BMI of over 30 should be injected in my opinion.
