One of my favorite news stations is KTLA, and this morning they covered a story that just almost brought me to tears. Not tears of sadness, but tears of laughter. This story is totally real no joke. A man in prison who rapped and killed two woman apparently lives after he was sentenced to death. His fat is keeping him alive. Apparently they wanted to execute him 5 years ago, but could not find a vein to give him an injection. Missing the vein could have adverse effects that make the procedure too risky. There are also concerns that the legal dosage would not have the right effect because of his weight. So basically he can’t die, because he is too fat.

This was the real story and it was almost hard to believe. It really makes you wonder if it is just the Fat Man making this up or if legally this is true. I think the Fat Guy is a lier and is just afraid to die. I had trouble tacking the story down on the KTLA website, so here is the link to the full Yahoo story.
