Death Row inmate made huge request for last meal with 11 different items before being killed

An inmate on death row requested on of the most extravagant final meals ever.

Consisting of 11 items, the order was more than over-the-top from convict Ray Jefferson Cromartie, to say the least.

The criminal was sentenced to the death penalty for the 1994 murder of Richard Slysz, a convenience store worker in Thomasville, Georgia, USA - located by the state's line with Florida.

On 10 April 1994, Cromartie and his accomplice Corey Clark asked Thaddeus Lucas to take them to the Junior Food Store, where Cromartie ended up shooting Slysz in the head, twice.

Both of them couldn't open the cash register, fleeing the scene after Cromartie looted two 12-packs of beer.

But this isn't his only offence, as days before the murder of Slysz, Cromartie shota different convenience store worker, Dan Wilson, who was left severely wounded by his injuries.

During the trial in 1997, Lucas and Clark testified against him, as they pleaded guilty to lesser charges, and both were subsequently given prison sentences.

They have since served their sentences and have been released.

Cromartie denied that he shot either clerk during the trial, but was punished with the death penalty once he was found guilty on both counts.

Following his conviction Cromartie continued to protest his innocence and even attempted a last ditch request to stop his execution.

Among the requests was one for new DNA testing of evidence from the crime scene, which Cromartie’s lawyers claimed could help show he wasn’t the shooter.

Slysz’s daughter, Elizabeth Legette, had supported Cromartie’s request for DNA testing - but told the Atlanta Journal Constitution that officials had ‘refused to listen to’ what she had to say

However, the requests were rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court.

After spending more than two decades on death row, he was killed by lethal injection in November 2019, aged 52.

But before his death, Cromartie requested an extra special final meal, consisting of 11 different elements, including several savoury and sweet foods.

According to the Georgia Department of Corrections, he requested: steak, lobster, macaroni and cheese, cube steak, rice and gravy, steak and cheese sandwich, double cheeseburger, fries, a side of ranch dressing, strawberry milkshake and layered cake with white icing.

While many states place a financial cap on an inmate's last meal, the state of Georgia has granted elaborate requests in the past.

Cromartie declined when asked if he would like to share any final words, but he did allow a prayer to be recited on his behalf.

Cromartie was one of three men executed in the state of Georgia in 2019: 52-year-old Scotty Garnell Morrow was put to death in May, while Marion Wilson Jr. was killed in June aged 42.
