More Monster Meal Musings...

I just watched the Nick Broomfield documentary on Aileen Wuornos, "The Life And Death of a Serial Killer" and he reported that she was given a last meal of KFC fried chicken and french fries (apparently the Florida death-row inmates have to stay within a $20 maximum for their last meal). I believe Nick Broomfield was the last person to ever interview Aileen Wuornos, so his information may be correct, I don't know.

That may be right. We took it from press accounts from the day. To refresh your memory...the DME "Monster" last meal...

Wuornos didn't order a last meal and skipped the regular fare of barbecued chicken, mashed potatoes, apple crisp and tea but had a cup of coffee about 12:30 a.m. Instead, ate a hamburger and other snack food from the prison's canteen.

NEXT...A "Monster" correction...from Wendy in Boston (her last meal to follow)...

"Attendance was low: Wuornos was the most famous Florida death row inmate to be executed since Ted Bundy, but her execution attracted only about a tenth of the crowd of supporters, opponents and curiosity-seekers that Bundy received in 1992."
Ted Bundy was actually executed January 24, 1989.

Then you go...the Monster meal never rest.
