Diet Plan for Murderers that Works!




According to the AP:

Broderick Lloyd Laswell says he isn't happy that he's down to 308 pounds after eight months in the Benton County jail [in Arkansas]. He has filed a federal lawsuit complaining the jail doesn't provide inmates with enough food.

According to the suit, Laswell weighed 413 pounds when he was jailed in September. Police say he and a co-defendant fatally beat and stabbed a man, then set his home on fire.

"On several occasions I have started to do some exercising and my vision went blurry and I felt like I was going to pass out," Laswell wrote in his complaint. "About an hour after each meal my stomach starts to hurt and growl. I feel hungry again."


Unbelievable. This murderer is in jail and claims he is being "starved to death" because he has gone from 413 to 308. He should be thrilled he has finally found a diet plan that works for him.
