This has been all over the place, since it happened, several things have happened; including: Barack Obama being elected President of the United States of America and receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. However, this story dwarfs those two achievements of Mr. Obama. The only thing Obama could do to out-do this guy, would be if the president were to pardon him before leaving office on January 20th, 2017.
A New York man who pleaded guilty to murder will get fried chicken, calzones and pizza to go with his life sentence.
Tremayne Durham, 33, admitted last month that he fatally shot Adam Calbreath, 39, of Gresham, in June 2006.
Durham wanted to sell ice cream and ordered an $18,000 truck from an Oregon company. He later changed his mind, but the company wouldn’t provide a refund.
The would-be ice cream man came to Oregon and killed Calbreath, a 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 yesterday’s sentencing, his defense attorney confirmed Durham was to get the rest of the deal - calzones, lasagna, pizza and ice cream.
Durham will pay the bill for the special diet.
Durham got married yesterday in a civil ceremony at the Portland courthouse.
The wedding to Vanessa Davis, 48, also of New York City, was not part of the plea deal that will give Durham a chance for parole after 30 years.
Deputy District Attorney Josh Lamborn said Multnomah County judge Eric Bergstrom made the right call in allowing the unusual plea agreement because it saved the expense of a trial and possible appeals.
Other than that unlikely event occurring, this guy has no chance of seeing the light of day in the next 65 years.Tremayne Durham: Confesses to a murder if he gets some KFC.
