Brian Dorsey, 52, died by lethal injection on Tuesday evening in Missouri A death row inmate ate a massive meal and apologized to his family for murdering his cousin and her husband before receiving a lethal injection. Seven hours before his execution, Brian Dorsey, 52, had his final meal of two bacon double cheeseburgers, two chicken strips orders, two large fries and a pizza topped with pepperoni, sausage, onion, mushrooms and extra cheese, stated the Missouri Department of Corrections.
He raised his head from the pillow and blinked hard at one moment. He was pronounced dead at 6.11pm. Concerns had been raised before Dorsey’s execution that the team giving the lethal injection would not be able to find a vein due to his obesity, diabetes and history as an IV user. There were discussions that it might involve an additional invasive ‘cut down’ procedure akin to a surgery. But ultimately there were no complications in the procedure.

British Grandmother on Death Row in Indonesia May Avoid Firing SquadA British grandmother who has been languishing on death row in Indonesia for 10 years may dodge a firing squad - due to a change in law.
