Ohio killer: Weight gain isn't to avoid execution (AP)

A double murderer scheduled to be executed next month in Ohio said Tuesday he has not deliberately gained weight to rule out his death by lethal injection.

Richard Cooey said in a death row interview that his execution cannot be carried out humanely under current state procedures because his veins are hard to reach.

    I know numerous nurses and paramedics that can start an IV on an obese person, so I don't believe that will stop the execution as he planned.

    I have an idea, let him stay on death row until he dies from heart disease, diabetes, high BP - any of that. This is great - we can have all of our death row inmates suffer an ignominous death.
