Death Row Inmate Asks For A Child As His Last Meal, Texas DOC Plan To (Grant Request)

ABILENE, TX--Stephen K. Walker, French M. Robertson Unit inmate in Abilene, Texas, is on death row for murder and cannibalism of the 2006 case that sentenced him to death.

When asked what he would want his final meal to be, he said with no hesitation, "A little boy."

The Department of Corrections are supposed to accept all the demands of any kind. So it was initially thought that they were buying a corpse in a morgue to satisfy the desires of Stephen Walker.

But tables turned when it was said that they were trying to find a toddler from a third world country and buy him/her alive within a budget of $25,000.

State representative Michael Rath talked to the media briefly with words that he thought would clear the situation some:

"We live in a country where we have laws in place and morals, and we will look to grant Mr. Walker his request under certain circumstances that we have yet to agree to." He stated.

As far as the 'circumstances,' it is rumored that the child would have to suffer from some type of degenerative disease, with a few years to live. And by honoring Walkers request it saves the child from years of suffering.

We will see how this plays out. Walker will be executed next Saturday.

And just for comparison here are some last meal requests from prior death row inmates:

John Wayne Gacy was executed by the State of Illinois on May 10, 1994 for the rape and murders of 33 young men and boys from 1972 to 1978. The "Killer Clown's" last meal was: a dozen deep-fried shrimp, a bucket of original recipe chicken from KFC, French fries, and a pound of strawberries.

Serial killer Ted Bundy was executed by the State of Florida on January 24, 1989. His last meal was: nothing. He made no special requests and was given the traditional meal of steak and eggs... but he didn't eat it.

Timothy McVeigh was executed on June 11, 2001. His last meal was: two pints of mint chocolate chip ice cream.

Ronnie Lee Gardner was executed June 18 2010 by firing squad in Utah. His last meal was: steak, lobster tail, apple pie, vanilla ice cream and 7-up for his last meal... which he ate while watching the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.
