Dorsey was convicted of murdering his cousin Sarah and her husband Benjamin Bonnie while he was living with them in 2006. Governor Mike Parson refused to grant clemency to Dorsey, even though 72 current and former corrections officers attested to his reformation in a petition. His final enormous meal consisted of two cheeseburgers, chicken strips, two large orders of fries, and a loaded pizza.
The specifics of what the "loaded" pizza contained have not been disclosed, but his final written statement was made public hours after he consumed the massive amount of greasy food, reports the Daily Star .
His representatives told CNN: "To all of the family and loved ones I share with Sarah and to all of the surviving family and loved ones of Ben, I am totally, deeply, overwhelmingly sorry. Words cannot hold the just weight of my guilt and shame. I still love you. I never wanted to hurt anyone. I am sorry I hurt them and you.
"To my family, friends, and all of those that tried to prevent this, I love you! I am grateful for you I have peace in my heart in large part because of you and I thank you. To all those on ALL sides of this sentence, I carry no ill will or anger, only acceptance and understanding."
His lengthy statement went on to pay tribute to the rest of his family, and that of his victims. He was pronounced dead at 6.11pm local time after a lethal injection was given.
