Cooey was executed by lethal injection at 10:28 this morning. Apparently, there was no trouble finding a vein.
His last words were: ‘‘You [expletive] have not paid attention to anything I’ve had to say for the past 22 years. Why would you pay attention to anything I have to say now?’’
His last meal was a T-bone steak with A-1 sauce, onion rings, french fries, four eggs over easy, buttered toast, hash browns, rocky road ice cream, bear claw pastry, and Mountain Dew. He declined breakfast.
His previous “last” meal, in 2003, was a ribeye steak, two eggs sunny-side up, buttered toast, a cheeseburger, onion rings, french fries, two slices of banana cream pie, and four liters of Dr Pepper. After he ate, the execution was stayed.
May his victims rest in peace.
