last words: "the young child of an officer asked his father if they had found a particular bad guy, to which his father said they had and that the man was going to be sentenced to die. the child asked who would kill the man, and his father told him that the government and police officers like himself were all part of the act. his son considered this before asking 'but daddy, if you can kill that man for killing someone, who will kill you?' i was arrested for playing god, for committing murder, a crime that is legally and morally wrong. apparently this rule does not apply to those involved in my sentencing and execution. may god have mercy on your souls."

DME MAILBAG...

DME RECOMMEND!

hello,

My name is Steve Bowden and I thought you might like this piece I've just produced:

http://8.5x11.com/work/text/lastMeals.htm

Your site is an fascinating read to say the least.

"The Museum of Capital Punishment introduces this Stainless Steel tray as a platform for debate. Playing the role of both museum and souvenir, it juxtaposes two portraits. One through appetite, the other through paperwork."


A CHILDHOOD MEMORY

I went to school with Carlton Slawson ( Long School, Concord, NC) from the first grade until about the seventh grade. He was, without question, the shittiest kid that I have ever met in my life!!!!!!

PICTURE REQUEST.
I love your website and I really appreciate all of the work that you put into it. After Texas removed their Last Meal info from their website, you were there to provide what no other was providing. Thanks to you, those who find this interesting can still be informed. Any chance in the future of adding photo`s of those eating the LAST MEAL? Texas provides photo`s of most of their death row inmates. and since a lot of those eating last meals are in texas, you would have easy access to those photo`s. Just wondering...
Anyway, just wanted to drop you a few lines and to let you know, I drop in to visit and that your website is appreciated.

Sincerely,

Chris B.

DME REPLYS: Adding pics is on our "to-do" list. Sadly, we are having trouble finding the time to do the bare minimum for the site. However, we are in talks regarding a DME book and if that happens, then look out. Pic-o-rama!


NOT A FAN

To whom it may concern,

I do sincerely hope that this e-mail will be at least read and taken into some form of consideration. I just wanted to express my views towards your website --- www.deadmaneating.com;

Perhaps I am somewhat biased considering my views and opposition towards the Death Penalty as a whole. But regardless of someone's views on this subject I do not think anyone would be that callous and cruel to publically document inmate's last meals before they are murdered by the State let alone make a mockery of it.

At the very least I can only begin to comprehend why people would be interested in stuff like this. But again, making up your own slogan, "Looking for a killer meal?" as well as the website name itself is just sickening beyond words. Not to mention touching upon the subject of giving people their own chance to recreate their own "Last meal".

I suppose people get some sort of sick kick out of this. See it as a form of cheap entertainment perhaps? Whatever the reasoning I just want to say I hope you realise the severity of how much this could affect people - such as myself - who have first hand experience with people on the Row.

Right now I figure you are probably thinking something along the lines of "What about the victim's and their families?". To answer that for you; I do not in anyway condone the actions that these men and/or women have done. My extreme condolences and sympathy go out to these victim's families. But killing another person is never going to bring your loved one[s] back. People say it is justice. But when it comes down to it to take a life when a life has been lost is not justice -- it is pure revenge.

If you had made it down to here than I thank you for taking the time to read this e-mail. Whether it was taken seriously or not is another matter. However I just wish to reiterate I hope that you realise the sort of pain this website causes to many people around the world. Perhaps you are all for the Death Penalty or perhaps you just want to make a mockery of it? Who knows. For now that matter will remain untouched.

Yours sincerely,
Ben W.

DME REPLIES:

Thanks for your rational, well-reasoned letter. You made many great points and obviously the site is not for you. We suggest you do what we do with sites that bother us...we avoid them. Of course, you can buy lots of National Sports Schedules and make that publication so profitable, that we will have no time left to chronicle any meals...for the living or the dead.

OKLAHOMA LAST MEAL
JOHN BOLTZ
June 1, 2006

...I'm going to cut your loving little boy's head off." ....

Last Meal: Boltz requested Kentucky Fried Chicken (original recipe), potato wedges, baked beans, cole slaw, an apple turnover and a dinner roll.

The skinny: Boltz, a former used car salesman and evangelistic preacher, was put to death for killing his 22-year-old stepson in a Shawnee mobile home park.

Boltz, 74, became the oldest man in Oklahoma's history to be executed.

More skinny: The Shawnee Police Department received a call from John Boltz's wife who informed the police that she was at her mother's house and that Boltz, who had been drinking, had forced his way into the house and had made accusations about her to her mother. She further stated that when she threatened to call the police, Boltz left. She gave the dispatcher Boltz's car tag number and his home address. His wife called the police department later and inquired as to whether Boltz had been taken into custody. When she was informed that he had not been arrested, she went to her son's house.

After they had been there for a short time, Boltz called and talked to the man. The conversation lasted only a few minutes. A short time later, Boltz called back and again talked to the man. After this call, the man left to go to Boltz's trailer house. Immediately thereafter, Boltz called a third time and his wife answered. Boltz told her, "I'm going to cut your loving little boy's head off." Boltz also threatened his wife who immediately called the police and reported the threats. She told the dispatcher where Boltz lived and stated that she was going over there.

A woman who lived next door to Boltz, testified that during that evening she heard the screeching of brakes, a car door slam and loud and angry voices. When she heard a sound like someone getting the wind knocked out of him, she looked out the window and observed a man lying on the ground on his back, not moving. She testified that Boltz was standing over him screaming obscenities and beating him.

Boltz was arrested in Midwest City, Oklahoma, at the American Legion Hall after a friend informed the police of Boltz's location. Boltz had informed the friend that he had killed his stepson and had probably cut his head off. Boltz surrendered to the police upon their arrival.

Declining the plea: Boltz could have avoided execution had he accepted a plea bargain prosecutors offered. The deal would have reduced the offense to first-degree manslaughter with a maximum sentence of 42 years in prison, if Boltz pleaded guilty.

The offer was extended to spare the mother from testifying. She had told prosecutors she was on the verge of a nervous breakdown and was concerned the stress of a trial would push her fragile mental state too far.

Boltz probably would already have been released from prison had he taken the plea bargain. Instead, he's spent most of the last 22 years confined 23 hours a day on death row.

Boltz adamantly had claimed he was in his own home defending himself from an attacker.

Leading up to: Boltz was in reasonably good health for a man who nearly was 75. He remained a solid Pentecostal, who read daily from the Bible, the attorney said.

Last words and such: Officials had trouble finding a vein to inject the lethal drugs, delaying the execution for more than an hour at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary.

With the last words of his life, he admonished those who put him on death row.

"It's a time of sadness because I think of all the people involved who got me here and what's in store for them," he said.

Without reciting the verses, Boltz then referenced Deuteronomy 19:18-21, saying that "they need to read that portion of the Bible and see what's down the road for them."

Although Boltz never specified who "they" are, the passage seemed to be directed at the victim's family:

The verses say, in part: "And the judges shall make careful inquiry. If they discover that the witness is, indeed, resentful and has accused falsely against his brother, then you shall do to him what he had planned to have done to his brother; and thus you shall eradicate the evil from among you."

Factoids: Boltz was the...

21st murderer executed in U.S. in 2006
1025th murderer executed in U.S. since 1976
2ndmurderer executed in Oklahoma in 2006
81st murderer executed in Oklahoma since 1976

The state's previous oldest inmate to be executed was Robert Hendricks, 64, who was put to death in 1957.

The oldest person put to death — John Nixon - was 77 when he was executed in Mississippi on Dec. 14. Clarence Ray Allen, who was blind and used a wheelchair, was executed in California on Jan. 17 at the age of 76. James Hubbard, executed in Alabama in 2004, was also 74.
