Ohio inmate's too-fat-to-execute argument fails Story Highlights
Richard Cooey, 41, scheduled for execution Tuesday

Ohio's Supreme Court rejects argument he's too obese for injection

Attorneys argued prison food, limited exercise made him fat

Cooey's execution could be first in state since moratorium

The Ohio Supreme Court has rejected arguments that a death row inmate is too fat to die by lethal injection.

Richard Cooey, 41, is scheduled to be executed on Tuesday.

Justices on Thursday gave the go-ahead to execute Richard Cooey.

The 41-year-old is scheduled to be executed Tuesday for killing two University of Akron students in 1986.

He would be the first person to be put to death in the state since the end of a de facto moratorium on lethal injection.

Cooey's attorneys had argued that prison food and limited opportunities to exercise contributed to a weight problem that would make it difficult for the execution team to find a viable vein for lethal injection.

Cooey is 5 feet, 7 inches tall and weighs 267 pounds.

why they let that fat waste of fooking oxygen live for 22 years after he was convicted is beyond me....

i'da happily saved the states hundreds of thousands of tax dollars by executing him with an axe handle and a pen full of starving hogs

Yup, That be da one... I think someone posted a "they found a vein" thread on it somewhere...

My next crusade is to find the guy in Detroit that just got off for cooking his kid on the family BBQ grill.

Yeah I did. That guy got put to death over raping and killing 2 little girls after kidnapping them and their mom and leaving the mother for dead...I thought he was the fatty. Turns out there are alot of death row convicts dragging their feet...

I wanna know WTF their holdup is on executing death row inmates? given the job, I'd gladly be there at the courthouse, as soon as they're sentenced to death, take em behind the court house to a big brick wall and hand me the 9mm. this shit about sitting on death row for like 20 years is retarded, soon as they're sentenced, just go polish up old sparky and throw their ass in the chair.

Appeals... the appeals process TAKES FOREVER!

If one way fails, keep trying till you find one that works. 40 cal to the head would work.

but until our legal system is 100% unfalable... then appeals are needed. I'd rather 100 criminals stay alive for the 15 years of appeals... than kill one person who was innocent... ya know?
