A death row killer was given yoghurt after his prison refused his very odd final meal request.<\/p>\n
James Edward Smith was convicted of murder in 1983 after shooting Larry Don Rohus while robbing offices in Houston, USA.<\/p>\n
Rohus, the district manager of an insurance company, was in the cashier\u2019s office with another employee when Smith came in with a pistol and demanded money.<\/p>\n
While the second employee hid, Rohus complied. He placed money in a small bin and put it on a table near the robber.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As Rohus walked away, Smith shot him twice, once through the heart, killing him.<\/p>\n
