CNN: Defendant trades murder plea for KFC, pizza

I was looking at CNN’s website this morning and when saw the headline listed above I had to check twice to make sure I read it right.

To sum up the story, located here, 33 year old Tremayne Durham of New York City ordered an $18,000 ice cream truck from an Oregon company and, when the company wouldn’t cancel his order once he changed his mind, he traveled to Oregon and fatally shot Adam Calbreath, a 39-year old former employee of the company, while looking for its owner, authorities said.

Durham agreed to plead guilty to murder — but only if he could get a break from jail food. The judge agreed and granted Durham a feast of KFC chicken, Popeye’s chicken, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, carrot cake and ice cream.

After Wednesday’s sentencing, Durham was to get the rest of the deal — calzones, lasagna, pizza and ice cream, his defense attorney confirmed. They will pay the tab.

I wonder if the deal includes diet pills?

    i couldnt imagine agreeing to murder if i knew i was guilty but to be innocent and still admit something like that to get a lesser sentence would turn me into another person..
