Man Pleads Guilty in Exchange for Fried Chicken
33-year-old Tremayne Durham of New York City, accused of murdering a man in Oregon, was so sick of jail food that he agreed to plead guilty last month in exchange for a fried chicken feast on the court's tab. In accordance with his plea agreement, Durham was given KFC and Popeyes chicken, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, carrot cake, and ice cream—and after receiving his life sentence yesterday, he was also granted calzones, lasagna, pizza, and more ice cream.

OMG! My friend's bf is an ADA in one of the 5 boros (I don't know if me telling this will get him in trouble, so) and he said a lot of times people will cut deals for fried chicken. I didn't believe him but apparently it's true?! WTF?

He'll have his one day of fried chicken, but he'll be eating prison food till the day he dies. Was it really worth it?

He should've held out for fried chicken every day of his life sentence.
