There’s also the very real possibility that he’s made a deal with Satan to transfer his soul to his liver at the moment of execution, and when it’s transferred into another host, he’ll take over their body and go on a rampage of supernatural murders until an unlikely team of a doubting priest and a rogue cop take him down. Let’s not forget that.

Wow. I didn’t even consider that possibility. I’m such an idiot.
Johnson has been executed.
According to Reuters Governor Mitch Daniels might have been amenable to a delay if Hohnson had been a good match for his sister. As it turns out, he has Hepatitis B. In addition, his sister needs a full liver, not a partial liver (and a kidney from the same donor as well). All this ruled out Johnson as a potential donor.

Interesting. Nowhere is it mentioned that “you can’t take a liver from a guy who’s just been executed”. The “whole liver” requirement appears to have also precluded Johnson because he is too physically large, and hence so is his liver.
Perhaps it is a safeguard of sorts against giving a liver to someone who will just destroy it like they did to their own liver.
Treis is correct. The problem with Micky Mantle wasn’t that he’d destroyed his liver through alcoholism, the problem was that he was still drinking. An alcoholic in recovery should get higher priority for a liver than an alcoholic who’s still drinking.
