Earl Forrest, convicted triple-killer and 10-time winner of the Missouri prison system's Allman Brothers Band Member Lookalike Contest, was executed tonight by that state. Forrest earned his death sentence after embarking on a drunken shooting spree in 2002 that left two acquaintances and a sheriff's deputy dead. Forrest got mad because he had set one of his acquaintances up with a new meth dealer, and in return that acquaintance had agreed to buy Forrest a new lawn mower and a mobile home. When the deal fell through, Forrest shot and killed his female friend and a male friend of hers, then shot and killed the deputy during a firefight with law enforcement officials.
For his last meal, Earl Forrest asked for steak, pasta, a fruit plate, sliced tomatoes and cucumbers, chocolate cake, and milk.
Triple murderer Daniel Lucas was executed by the state of
Georgia tonight for his part in the slayings of a father and his two children
in 1998. Along with his partner-in-crime Brandon Rhode (executed in 2010), Lucas shot and killed the three victims when
they walked in unexpectedly as Lucas and Rhode ransacked their home looking for
valuables. For his last meal, Lucas asked for a meat pizza, a steak and cheese
calzone, a stuffed portabella mushroom, a chef salad with both ranch and honey mustard
dressing, and orange juice.
Kenneth Earl Fults was executed by the state of Georgia tonight for the shooting death of a neighbor during a 1996 crime spree. Just days before the murder, Fults had also tried to kill his former girlfriend's new boyfriend using a handgun he had stolen during a burglary.
For his last meal, Fults chose a classic combination of T-bone steak and baked potato with butter, along with the slightly less extravagant additions of brown rice and apple juice.
