[Please excuse the gory subject matter]

image4321049g.jpgConvicted murderer Richard Cooey was executed yesterday by the state of Ohio despite his protestations and legal last ditch effort that he was too fat to be executed.

His legal team argued that his obesity would prevent humane lethal injection because viable veins in his arms would be hard to find, reports after said this was not the case.

Cooey tipped the scales at 267lbs, having gained 75lbs since entering prison.
