<p>One of the hardest requests for the catering staff to deliver came from Odell Barnes Jr, hours before his execution.

He insisted he was innocent, despite being sentenced to 121 years in prison for other rape charges.

His last words were: "I didn't get my SpaghettiOs, I got spaghetti. I want the press to know this."<br /><br />SpaghettiOs is an American brand of canned spaghetti featuring circular pasta shapes in a cheese and tomato sauce - and marketed as "less messy" than regular spaghetti.<br />And, James Edward Smith who was executed in June 1990 for murder and robbery in Houston, had requested a lump of dirt for his last meal, allegedly so he could carry out a "voodoo" ritual.<br /><br />His wish was not granted, however, as dirt was not included on the list of foods approved by the prison system.
