Fritz Haarmann
Haarmann learned his execution, as common in Germany, just the night before it was to be enforced. While this wasn’t a traditional meal, he still put it in the last request. The convicted killer simply asked for Brazilian coffee and costly cigar to be consumed and smoked in his cell.

Ronnie Lee Gardner
The first person to be executed in 2010, after more than a decade, was Ronnie Lee Gardner in the U.S. The perpetrator, claiming his Mormon background, called for the procedure. Nearly 25 years earlier, he won the death sentence for a prosecutor’s murder and became associated with the Utah court system. Gardner’s decision eventually prompted the government to restrict the number of convicts seeking capital cases.
