CNN: Executed man’s last request honored — pizza for homeless – by Ashley Fantz
(CNN) — Hundreds of homeless people in Nashville, Tennessee, ate well Wednesday evening — all in the name of a man who the state put to death just hours earlier.
Philip Workman, 53, requested that his final meal be a vegetarian pizza donated to any homeless person located near Riverbend Maximum Security Institution.
He was executed there at 2 a.m. ET Wednesday. (Watch witnesses describe his last moments Video)
But prison officials refused to honor his request, saying that they do not donate to charities.
That apparently upset a few people willing to pay for and deliver a lot of pies themselves.
Homeless shelters across Nashville were inundated with donated pizzas all Wednesday. . .
