You must have seen in films that when a prisoner is given death sentence, he is asked about his last wish. In many places they are also allowed to choose their last meal. Prisoners like to eat different types of dishes before dying. Let’s order chicken-mutton pizza. But when an American prisoner got this opportunity to order his favorite food at dinner (death row inmate’s last meal), he made such a demand that even the policemen were surprised.
According to the report of Daily Star News website, 41-year-old Michael Dewayne Smith was given death sentence by giving poisonous injection on the morning of April 4 in Oklahoma, USA. He was accused of murdering two people in 2002. He was under the influence of drugs then. He was in jail for 20 years and claimed himself innocent. When he was arrested, he was not even conscious enough to know what was happening to him.

finally ate this
The night before he died, he got the option to have his favorite dinner. For 20 years he was eating only the food available in the jail canteen. This was his last chance when he could order anything for himself. Death row inmates in Oklahoma get a chance to eat their favorite last meal. They can order any dish like chicken-mutton and the jail administration fulfills their demand. But when Michael was given the opportunity to choose his favorite dinner, he said that he had saved the food he got from the canteen that morning and he wanted to finish it. That means Michael finally decided to eat stale food. Even the police were surprised to hear this.
Said this in the interview
When Michael was asked to say his last words, he simply said – No, I am fine like this. In an interview given to a newspaper on April 1, he had said that he did not want to die. He had said- “Who can be ready to die, I do not want to die for something I have not done!”
