Thomas J. Grasso's Last Words

Prisoners on death row are traditionally allowed anything they would like to eat for their last meal before they are executed. One inmate took this right very seriously.

Thomas J. Grasso was executed in 1995 for using Christmas tree lights to strangle an 85-year-old woman.
