Comments on: Ronald Post, Ohio death row inmate, wants his execution delayed because he is too obese

- He probably weighed over half that much when he first went to prison, but sitting around for 25 years eating Twinkies and taco chips is what caused his weight to double. That's the trouble with keeping these murderers alive all these years. They get fat and lazy, and then they use that as an excuse to avoid execution. The only state in this country that doesn't fool around with these killers is Virginia. In Virginia the average time on death row is 7 years. Even in Texas, which leads the country in number of executions, the average time on death row is about 15 years. If they'd execute these guys like Virginia does in 7 years, they wouldn't have time to get fat.

- Too bad. Wonder whether his victim felt any pain. Weight and his potential pain have NOTHING to do with cruel and unusual. Guess he should have thought about this since the 80's. Bye Bye

- Killing a person is not going to bring your loved ones back - it is not anything other than revenge. It is illegal for a citizen to kill someone who murdered someone they loved yet its ok for the government to kill when and where they see fit. ABOLISH this archaic and barbaric tradition in this country. How many innocent people have already been put to death? The government will tell you none have - however lets look at how many innocent people have been released from death row across the country in the past 20 or so years. Now in every instance the survivors of the murdered victims wanted that particular inmate to die for the crime because some prosecutor convinced them that that particular inmate was responsible. Open your eyes people. Prosecutors who spout on about 98 and higher conviction rates are NOT doing their jobs. basic understanding of statistics emphatically tell us that this is an impossibility. No one is infalable. We as the citezenry of this great nation need to band together and fix our justice system.

- Question: Why did they let him get that FAT in a prison when the health and other radical government agencies are baning high sugar items from public sale?? Sounds crazy or lazy to me!

I worked at hotel for 9 years and it makes you nervous when people rob hotels.
