Man Set To Die Wants Artificial Leg

A man that will be executed on Thursday has requested that he be
given an artificial leg. The one-legged inmate lost one of his
legs to diabetes while in prison. The man however will not be
given the artificial leg as the Texas Department of Criminal
Justice said it would cost taxpayers $8,000 and that it was not
considered a necessity. The man, Rodolfo Hernandez, 52, wanted
the leg so he could "walk like a man" to his death which will be
done by lethal injection. "I came in with two legs, I want to
go out with two legs," said Hernandez. He is being executed for
killing an illegal immigrant in Mexico during a robbery.
