Killer pleads for pizza

Published Friday August 8th, 2008

PORTLAND, Ore. - A New York man who pleaded guilty to murder in Oregon in exchange for buckets of fried chicken will get calzones and pizza to go with his life sentence.

Tremayne Durham, 33, of New York City, admitted last month that he fatally shot Adam Calbreath, 39, of Gresham, in June 2006.

Durham agreed to plead guilty, but only if he could 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's attorney confirmed that he will get the rest of the deal - calzones, lasagna, pizza and ice cream.

It may be awhile before Durham can dine in such style again -- he's not eligible for parole for another 30 years.
