White supremacist Lawrence Brewer and two others offered local African-American man James Byrd Jr a lift home in the town of Jasper, Texas.
They beat Byrd and chained him by the ankles to the back of a ute, dragging him for about 5km until he was decapitated.
Brewer requested and was granted a lavish last meal, two chicken-fried steaks and gravy, a triple meat bacon cheeseburger, a cheese omelette, a bowl of fried okra, a pound of barbecued meat, half a loaf of white bread, three fajitas, a Meat Lovers pizza, three root beers, a bucket of ice cream and a slab of peanut butter fudge.

When the meal arrived, Brewer said he wasn’t hungry and didn’t eat any.
Based on this, the state of Texas decided to stop granting last meal requests.
