"Georgia Death Row Inmate's Final Meal Request and Execution Resumption"

Georgia inmate Willie James Pye, set to be executed for kidnapping, rape, robbery, and murder, has requested two chicken sandwiches, two cheeseburgers, french fries, two bags of plain potato chips, and two lemon-lime sodas for his last meal. The State Board of Pardons and Paroles will hold a clemency meeting for Pye, who was convicted of the 1992 murder of his ex-girlfriend. If granted clemency, his sentence would be reduced from death to life with or without parole. This will be Georgia's first execution since January 2020.

Ancient Tyrannosaur Fossil Unveils Perfectly Preserved Last Meal

Researchers have discovered the first tyrannosaur fossil with its last meal perfectly preserved in its stomach, providing hard evidence of the dinosaur's diet. The fossil, belonging to a young Gorgosaurus libratus, contained the hind legs of two baby dinosaurs called Citipes elegans. The findings suggest that juvenile tyrannosaurs had different diets from fully developed adults, and the preserved stomach contents shed light on the dietary patterns of large predatory dinosaurs. The discovery also supports the hypothesis that the voracious appetite of teenage tyrannosaurs and other carnivores may have contributed to the scarcity of small and midsize dinosaurs in the fossil record.

Ancient Tyrannosaur Fossil Unveils Preserved Last Meal

Paleontologists have discovered a fossilized tyrannosaur with its last meal preserved in its stomach, revealing that the dinosaur was a selective eater, consuming only the best parts of its prey. This finding confirms the long-held belief that juvenile tyrannosaurs had blade-like teeth for slicing through small prey, while adults had strong enough teeth to crush bone and target larger herbivores.

Final meal of double murderer: bacon cheeseburgers, fries, and shake.

Michael Tisius, a Missouri inmate convicted of killing two jailers in a botched prison escape, was executed after his final meal of two bacon cheeseburgers, curly fries, regular fries, and a chocolate shake. Tisius was on death row for the 2000 murder of Leong Egley and Jason Acton. His lawyers had argued that the killings were not premeditated, but the then-19-year-old was found guilty of the double murder. Tisius' case drew years of contention as advocates claimed he was a victim of poor circumstances.

Missouri inmate's last meal before execution: bacon cheeseburgers, fries, and chocolate shake.

Missouri inmate Michael Tisius was executed for killing two jailers during a failed jailbreak attempt in 2000. Tisius received a lethal injection of pentobarbital and was pronounced dead at 6:10 p.m. His last meal consisted of two bacon cheeseburgers, curly fries, regular fries, and a chocolate shake. Tisius' lawyers had urged the U.S. Supreme Court to block the execution, but the court rejected the motion. Tisius' path to the death chamber began in 1999 when he was jailed on a misdemeanor charge of pawning a rented stereo system.
