There’s no doubt about it; Eric Robert—executed today in South Dakota—was one cold dude. While serving an 80-year prison sentence for kidnapping, Robert killed a guard during a failed escape attempt. He later claimed that his one regret about the event was that he hadn’t killed even more guards.
As a testament to his stone-cold personality, Eric Robert ordered nothing but Moose Tracks ice cream for his last meal. He requested that his meal be served earlier than usual so he could fast for a full 40 hours prior to his lethal injection.
Robert wasn't the only inmate to order just dessert before he got his just desserts. Several others, including Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh, asked for nothing but ice cream before they walked that rocky road to the execution chamber.
