Death-row inmate forgoes choosing last meal, asks for food to be given to homeless instead

..."Johnson's decision to forego the special meal was inspired by his friend, Philip Workman, who requested that a vegetarian pizza be delivered to a homeless person instead of his last meal. That request reportedly was not honored.

"That request reportedly was not honored."

That's super shitty, but not surprising due the bureaucracy of the system.

"Mr. Johnson realizes that his $20 allotment will not feed many homeless people," Henry told FOX 17. "His request is that those who have supported him provide a meal to a homeless person."

A $20 allotment for a last meal? No no no. I don't care how bulletproof a case is: the state is executing a human....and there is a $20 allotment for the next meal?! Nah. Thatis not cool.

Johnson, 68, faces execution after being convicted in the 1984 murder of his wife, Connie Johnson.

Several religious leaders, include the president of the worldwide Seventh-day Adventist Church, of which Johnson is a member, have urged Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee to grant Johnson clemency.

SDA, huh? Power hungry nutbags. They got "compounds" all around. And yeah,in Tennessee. But the SDA hate and devalue and dehumanize women with the best of the mystery religions. So not surprised that the woman's life and murder is so not an issue for them that they are fighting to give this guy a "pensis pass." Sad.
