Eagle Eats Chicken

Despite two last-minute stays issued by the US Supreme Court, Ronald Smith was executed late last night by the state of Alabama for a murder he committed in 1994. During a convenience store robbery, Smith pistol-whipped a store clerk then shot him through the head when the man wouldn’t open the cash register.

Smith, a former Eagle Scout, dined on a three-piece fried chicken meal with French fries prior to his lethal injection.
