One thing witnesses at tonight’s execution of Ronnie Lee Gardner might keep in their mind for a long time: Gardner’s growling stomach. Ronnie Lee has chosen to fast for the 48hours leading up to his execution, occurring shortly after midnight tonight. He wisely chose a large meal on Tuesday night of steak, lobster, apple pie a la mode, and some bubbling 7-up to ready himself for this task. Although the fasting may not interfere with his execution it may have played some part if Gardner has chosen to die by lethal injection, a method that takes many precautions to assure the effectiveness and “humaneness” of the lethal drugs.
