Talk:Thomas J. Grasso

I am looking for a good source for this, but this article says that he was served SpaghettiOs when he was actually served Spaghetti and Meatballs (both made by Franco-American). If someone can find a credible source for this and make the changes, that would be good. (See the following sources as potential examples: 10 Strange Death Rows, Last Words of Thomas J. Grasso and Thomas J. Grasso's Last Meal) I would consider the latter source the best one, but I want to see if there is a better one that would allow me to change the information on the main page. It doesn't make sense that he would complain that he didn't get his SpaghettiOs if he actually got them (but who knows?). SailorAlphaCentauri (talk) 05:36, 22 June 2013 (UTC) Could someone find out more about his life prior to his arrest? It also strikes me that this article states definitively that he was, in fact, guilty and I'd like to see the article changed to reflect possible ambiguity as to that point if the facts warrant it. (For my part, I know little enough about either of these two matters and merely suspect wording the article's references to his convictions as "convicted him of killing" rather than "he killed" along with adding a more complete biography might give the article a more neutral tone.) Thanks. Theodicy (talk) 23:25, 20 March 2012 (UTC) Could someone find out why he was executed? As of this post, the article says he was sentenced to life without parole, then simply goes on to say that he was executed. That's some pretty major missing information. 38.126.111.37 (talk) 14:20, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

Timeline problem:

Grasso was found guilty and sentenced in the State of New York for both crimes but as this State had its execution chamber closed under the David Paterson administration, following the 2004 New York Court of Appeals decision in People v. LaValle, ruling the state's death penalty unconstitutional,[1] Grasso was subject to a legal battle to be extradited to Oklahoma for execution.[2]

Yet he was executed in the 90s? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.121.253.253 (talk) 19:51, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
