Killer pleads guilty in exchange for junk food

A New York man pleaded guilty to murder in exchange for buckets of fried chicken and pizza to go with his life sentence.

Tremayne Durham, 33, admitted that he fatally shot Adam Calbreath, 39, in 2006. Durham wanted to sell ice cream and ordered an $18,000 truck from an Oregon company. He later changed his mind, but the company wouldn't provide a refund. Durham then went to Oregon and killed Calbreath, a former employee of the company.

Durham agreed to plead guilty to murder under the condition that he would get a break from jail food. The judge agreed and granted Durham a feast of KFC chicken, Popeye's chicken, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, carrot cake and ice cream. After Wednesday's sentencing, Durham was to get the rest of the deal: calzones, lasagna, pizza and ice cream, his defense attorney confirmed.

Deputy District Attorney Josh Lamborn said Multnomah County Judge Eric Bergstrom made the right call in allowing the unusual plea agreement because it saved the expense of a trial and possible appeals.

  • That guy must be the stupidest person to walk on Planet Earth.
    Now he has the rest of his life to eat jail food.
    And possibly, some jail salami.

  • I’d like to call this guy an idiot but I can’t bring myself to do it. When you actually think about it he was probably going to jail either way so working out a deal where he gets free chicken for life is pretty smart. More importantly has anyone considered how much a bucket of the Colonel Sanders would be worth in prison? Sweet Jesus this man is going to be the Bill Gates of prison!

  • Outside of it being a little weird that he wanted to be an ice cream man in the first place, I would be pretty pissed if I spent $18,000, did not get my product (as I interpret the above) and didn't get a refund either.

  • He's gonna get his ass beat if the other prisoners see him eating anything like that!
    That's probably why they cut him the deal!!!

  • This is disgusting. Maybe the state hopes all the junk food will lead to his early demise?

    It brings to mind the times in the 1800's when family had to furnish prisoners with their meals or they subsisted on next to nothing.

    Why don't we give them hot tubs as well? That way they will not be so tense while serving their sentences.

  • You know, this kind of request is pretty common. In fact, the most asked-for last meal by death row inmates is french fries. Look it up.

  • wow, what a depressing little story... this guy is the perfect outcome of the american capitalist market... his thinking (including taste) has been successfully altered so that the short term reward of fried fatty non nutritious heavily marketed slop is more important than years of freedom...

    at least its nice outside where I live today

  • You know, after 30 or 40 years, this guy is going to get really sick of chicken and ice cream...
