“Profane Donnies last request: pizza for the homeless”
“Profane hustrumördaren Donnie Johnson, 68, had a different last måltidsönskan.”
“But the vegetarian pizza he ordered would not be eaten by him.”
“instead he wanted to donate it to a homeless. “
“Johnson was sentenced to death in 1984 after having smothered his wife with a trash bag at his workplace in Memphis, in the united states. “
“Before the sentence of death, a lethal injection to be carried out yesterday, wanted, the 68-year-old man to his last meal, a vegetarian pizza, to be delivered to a homeless person instead. “
“Önskningen, however, went not to meet, because the arrangement would exceed 20 dollars, which is the budget for each dödsdömds last meal in the state of Tennessee. “
“– Johnson understands that his allocation of the 20 dollars will not be enough to provide food to as many homeless people. His desire is that those who support him to provide the homeless with a meal, ” said Kelley Henry, Johnson’s public defender, according to the local television station Fox 17.”
“instead, Donnie Johnson, one of the dishes that are selected by the prison Riverbend, where he was sitting, when the profane do not want any special meal, writes the newspaper The Tennessean.”
“Johnson had while in prison he became a member of the Seventh adventist church and got several companions in the prison.”
“He had also written a letter to his wife’s family and their common children and asked forgiveness. “
“Several religious leaders, including the local chairman for the Seventh adventistkyrkan, turned to Tennessee’s governor Bill Lee and asked him to have mercy on Johnson’s case, after his religious awakening.”
“Lee decided, after prayer and careful consideration, that the punishment would be carried out, according to local media. “
“Johnson was executed at 19 o’clock local time yesterday, according to Fox 17. He sang two christian hymns before he got his dödsinjektion.”
