Robert Vickers killed his prison cellmate because the other man
drank his Kool-Aid. Varnall Weeks believed that after his execution
he would be reincarnated as a giant turtle who would rule the
universe. Hit man and former Elvis impersonator James Paster tried
to escape from his cell by slathering himself with hair tonic and
squeezing through a tiny air vent. Death Row's Oddest Inmates
features 13 of the most bizarre and unique killers the prison
system has ever seen. Meet a man who wore a homemade toga during
his trial and wanted the bodies of his victims brought to the
courtroom so God could resurrect them. Learn how triple murderer
"Smelly Kelly" earned his dubious nickname, and read about the
sadistic serial killer who sued the state of California for cruel
and unusual punishment because one of the cookies on his prison
lunch tray was broken. Also included are special sections on wacky
murder weapons, massive last meals, and the looniest last words
ever uttered. Despite the gloomy surroundings, there's no shortage
of silliness and outlandish behavior on death row.
