these were the memorable final food
choices of those condemned to death
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
last meals before execution before we
begin we publish new content every day
so be sure to subscribe to our channel
and ring the bell to get notified about
our latest videos for this list will be
ranking the most notable or strange last
meal requests made by convicted
prisoners on death row some of these
entries likely give insight into a
prisoner’s personality while others
simply lead to more questions than
answers
let’s dig in number 10 Alan Lee Davis
convicted murderer Alan Lee Davis also
known as tiny requested a true feast for
his last meal weighing just under 350
pounds at the time of his death Davis
dined on lobster tail fried potatoes a
half pound of fried shrimp six ounces of
fried clams half a loaf of garlic bread
and a 32 ounce and W root beer an
execution by electric chair did him in
on July 8 1999 but his weight is
believed to have caused complications
the controversy over Davis’s experience
in the electric chair made him the last
floor to prisoner put to death this way
with all future Florida executions being
performed by lethal injection
number nine Ted Bundy its within every
prisoner’s right to refuse any last meal
option offered to them why anyone would
make such a choice remains a mystery but
this is what infamous serial killer
rapist and necrophiliac Ted Bundy chose
to do hours before his execution On
January 24 1989 so far you haven’t
explained anything I think I’ve
explained things pretty well because
Bundy refused to submit the traditional
final meal request the state of Florida
gave him their standard offering
medium-rare steak eggs cooked over easy
hash browns toast
jelly butter and an assortment of
beverages including coffee milk and
juice Bundy didn’t touch the plate
however and he was sent to the electric
chair on an empty stomach again
I know that people were accuse me of
being self-serving but we’re beyond that
now number eight Aileen Wuornos Aileen
Wuornos was one of the most infamous
female serial killers in American
history her choice of last meal was no
less intriguing than her life which
Wuornos only ordered one black coffee
before her death by lethal injection in
Florida on October 9th 2002
some suspect Wuornos is a version 2 a
last meal may have stemmed from her
belief that prison employees had been
tampering with her food during her time
in jail alternatively Aileen might have
simply not been hungry that day either
way her final cup of joe fell well
within the $20 meal budget set by the
state at the time number 7
William Bonham there have been multiple
serial killers labeled the freeway
killer over the years including William
Bonin who terrorized Southern California
during the late 70s to early 80s Bonin’s
last meal was a unique one at least in
terms of his beverage of choice bond and
drank not one not two but three
six-packs of Coca Cola but hey it would
take a lot of soda to wash down the two
large pepperoni and sausage pizzas he
requested the California freeway killer
also had three pints of coffee ice cream
for dessert talked about an appetite
number six
Victor figure the case of Victor figure
is notable for many reasons
he was the last prisoner put to death in
the state of Iowa he was also the last
prisoner to receive the federal death
penalty until Oklahoma City bomber
Timothy McVeigh in 2001 most notable was
figures last meal a single pitted olive
for figure who spent his final hours
with a Catholic priest it was more than
a meal it was a sign of peace
he hoped an olive tree would literally
grow from his grave Victor figure was
hanged at dawn in 1963 and buried in an
unmarked grave the olive pit would later
be found tucked away within the pocket
of his new suit number five
John Wayne Gacy John Wayne Gacy ‘he’s
presence can still
be felt today living on in the memories
of Americans as one of the creepiest and
most disturbing serial killer stories in
history a C’s final moments however were
the picture of traditional American life
he had a picnic with his family on
prison grounds
prior to his last meal of fried shrimp
french fries fresh strawberries Diet
Coke and a bucket of Kentucky Fried
Chicken after his meal
Gacy consulted with a Catholic priest
and was put to death by lethal injection
on May 10th 1994 his final words however
were considerably less pleasant Gacy was
quoted as saying kiss my ass number 4
Timothy McVeigh as previously mentioned
Timothy McVeigh also known as the
Oklahoma City bomber was the first
person since Victor fetcher to receive a
federal death sentence similar to figure
McVeigh’s last meal request was a
relatively simple one although there
doesn’t seem to be any symbolic value to
the Bombers choice of two pints of mint
chocolate chip ice cream
this was McVeigh’s final indulgence
before being put to death via lethal
injection On June 11 2001 at the Federal
Correctional Complex in Terre Haute
Indiana he was denied military burial
despite his past service and was instead
cremated with his ashes being given to
his lawyer
well I’m dreaming I’m putting down my
dreams number 3
Ronnie Lee Gardner it was just time to
grow up you know and accept what I’ve
done it seems like Ronnie Lee Gardner
was well aware of his impending death
and was determined to put it off as long
as possible
Gardner began by eating his last meal of
steak lobster tail apple pie
vanilla ice cream and 7up he then
proceeded to watch The Lord of the Rings
film trilogy in its entirety
so this final request gave gardener
plenty of time for reflection given the
length of Peter Jackson’s films in
addition to the movie marathon Gardner
also partook in a 48-hour fast before
meeting his demise the entire process
including his choice to die by firing
squad was apparently spiritually
motivated number two Ricky Ray rector a
prisoner’s mind while awaiting execution
on death row is likely swimming with
emotions especially as their hour of
death draws near perhaps this explains
the odd conversation that Ricky Ray
rector who suffered severe brain trauma
after a botched suicide attempt
following his arrest had with prison
guards following the delivery of his
last meal rector who had requested steak
fried chicken and cherry kool-aid said
his dessert of pecan pie off to the side
telling officers he was quote saving it
for later
rector a heavyset man was executed by
lethal injection on January 24 1992 it
allegedly took the medical staff over 50
minutes to locate a suitable vein before
we unveil our number one pick here are
some honorable mentions
[Music]
greater crime than the murder of six
million people including one and a half
million children no of course not but I
had nothing to do with that I did not
deal with the extermination back sealer
the world I know I mean I know it means
but I think spell it so fit although
like but all the hard at the hard season
sees number one Lawrence Russell Brewer
prisoners in the Texas prison system no
longer get to choose their last meal and
they can thank convicted murderer
Lawrence Russell Brewer for it
Brewer had a feast in mind when it came
to his last meal ordering two
chicken-fried steaks with gravy and
onions a triple bacon cheeseburger a
beef veggie and cheese omelet
fried okra with ketchup a pound of
barbecued meat with white bread three
fajitas a meatlovers pizza peanut butter
fudge three root beers and a pint of
Blue Bell ice cream when it came time
for dinner however Brewer defiantly
claimed he wasn’t hungry and ate nothing
Texas prisoners now receive whatever’s
