Dyin' Large -- Georgia
Meet Kelly Gissendaner.
Gissendaner is scheduled to die by lethal injection at 7 p.m. Tuesday 2⁄24 for the 1998 murder of her husband, Doug. Gregory Owen, her lover, carried out the actual killing, but he testified against Gissendaner and was ultimately sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole.
Gissendaner was sentenced to die because she planned the murder. She had already divorced Doug Gissendaner one time and she told Owen the only way to get her husband out of her life was to kill him. If the execution is carried out, Gissendaner will be the first woman executed by the state of Georgia since 1945.
She's gonna make the most of it, though. She's already submitted her last meal request. According to the Georgia Department of Corrections, Gissendaner has asked for cornbread, buttermilk, two Whoppers with cheese and all the trimmings, two large orders of French fries, cherry vanilla ice cream, popcorn and lemonade. She also wants a salad with boiled eggs, tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, carrots and cheese to be topped with Paul Newman buttermilk dressing.
