Offender: Linroy Bottoson robbed a post office, kidnapped the postmistress, and killed her.
Meal: Linroy Bottoson had a couple of "last meals" but both times the execution was stayed. In the end he had the standard meal of the day.
- For his first "last meal" Bottoson had steamed shrimp, fried oysters, apple pie, and butter pecan ice cream. I got all of this from Walmart.
- For his second meal, Bottoson had barbecued ribs, onion rings, fries, coleslaw, apple pie, and milk. I got the ribs from Jewel; the rings, fries, and slaw from Culver's; the pie from Walmart; and the milk from the attached Subway.
- For his actual last meal, Bottoson had the standard meal of beef patties, cheese, and bread. I had two Angus beef patties with a slice of provolone and Colby jack from Walmart, and oat nut bread from Jewel.
