Inmate says he's too obese for execution

UPDATED 6:28 AM EDT Sep 18, 2012

COLUMBUS, Ohio - A condemned Ohio inmate who weighs at least 480 pounds wants his upcoming execution delayed, saying he's too heavy for the state's lethal injection process.

Ronald Post shot and killed a hotel clerk in northern Ohio almost 30 years ago. He says his weight, vein access, scar tissue and other medical problems raise the likelihood of severe problems with an execution.

Lawyers for the 53-year-old Post also said in their federal court filing Friday that the inmate is so big the execution gurney might not hold him.

Post is scheduled to die Jan. 16 for the 1983 shooting death of Helen Vantz in Elyria.

The prisons department was not aware of the filing and could not immediately comment.

A single bullet is cheaper and would work.

Gas chamber, then. Let that mofo inhale deadly cyanide gas. That'll blunt his cardiomyopathy-assed heart!

Prison food must be better than I had imagined.

[VatorMan]

Put his fat ass on a treadmill and don't stop until he has a heart attack.

:iagree: And how in the hell is he able to eat that much. Don't they portion it?

Put his fat ass on a treadmill and don't stop until he has a heart attack.

Better yet, make him dig his own grave. Hopefully the heart attack will happen just as he finishes, then nobody will have to carry that whale anywhere.

Tall tree, short rope.
Preferably 1 inch manilla hemp.

I am sure I can find a vein. Why does it have to be a vein anyway an artery will work just as well and it's not like he has to worry about any potential adverse condition happening. :leaving:

stand him in front of an open grave. Single bullet to the head.

Execution and burial at the same time :)

[boracayjohnny]

His fat ass will make a good IED detector.

[Aflac]

there's an easy fix.. remington sureshot...

A bullet to the back of the head will be quicker and cheaper than anything GOBERMENT will decide to do. Save the tax payers the money

[Kerrmudgeon]

May I suggest a starvation diet? :yesnod:

[Uri]

Starve the fat bastard.

[sanchez]

They should sentence him to death by mofungo.

[Fasglas]

May I suggest a starvation diet? :yesnod:

Yes, you may.

In fact, how about one of those hanging cages, from midieval times. Weld up a nice strong one, rebar would do, and in he goes. WELD the entry shut.

Suspend it OUTSIDE, about 30 feet above the ground. No food. No water. Nothing.

Leave him there until there's nothing left but bones.

Give him the same compassion he gave his victim.

This whole shituation is a classic monument to .gov stupidity.....

should have been dead some 29 years ago.....
