TEXAS LAST MEAL
GEORGE H. WHITAKER III
November 12, 2008


Last Meal: Whitaker had a final meal request of four fried chicken thighs, french fries with ketchup and hot sauce on the side, peach cobbler, two pints of vanilla ice cream and orange juice.

Last Words and such: Whitaker apologized to the parents of his 16-year old victim, "I apologize for the pain and suffering I caused," said Whitaker. "I pray Lord, please forgive me." He then smiled at his own family members as they watched his final moments through a window in Texas' death house. He told them not to forget him and asked them to take care of his two children. As the lethal drugs began flowing, he said: "You all take care. I love y'all. I'm going on to sleep."
