Episode 5, All About Executions!

I'm back with an episode just BRIMMING  with holiday cheer! 
Psych, I would never do that to you!
"How's this for a headline? French Fries." The last words of James D. French before he was executed in Oklahoma in 1966 by electric chair. That’s right, folks! Today we are talking about weird execution facts, botched executions,  and last meals that range from excessive to downright bizarre. We will also talk about what the last 24 hours are like for criminals about to be executed, prison recipes, and the best states to dine in for your last meal.
