Richard Cooey
Born: 1967-06-09 - Died: 2008-10-14Cause of Death: Execution
Death Summary: Richard Cooey was executed at 10:28 AM on October 14, 2008 at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility.
His execution took place after a lengthy set of appeals, with his last one being declined. He argued that his obesity rendered lethal injection an inhuman form of execution… which is sort of mind boggling.
At the time of his execution, he was asked if he had any final words, Cooey said “You haven't paid attention to anything I've had to say for the past 22 years, so why would you think that I would think you're going to pay attention to what I have to say now?”
Who was Richard Cooey : In the early morning of September 1, 1986 Cooey and a friend was throwing chunks of concrete off the Stoner Street Bridge onto U.S. Interstate 77 in Akron, Ohio. One of the chunks hit an oncoming car, which was driven by University of Akron student Wendy Offredo (age 20), also in the car was another student Dawn McCreery (age 19).
Cooey and his cohorts pretended to rescue the two women, but in reality they were kidnapping the unsuspecting college students.
The men took them to a near by field and beat, stabbed, tortured and raped the women for three and a half hours they beat them to death and abandoned the bodies.
Cooey was convicted on November 14, 1986, and subsequently sentenced to death.

You deserved to die a lot sooner. Rest in hell.
Scum like you don’t deserve to live may you rot in hell
may God have mercy on your soul for you didn’t have mercy for these innocent young ladies.
Pathetic… He had 22 years to repent… forgiveness is always possible, but the hard-hearted reject it.
This is the most disturbing thing I have ever heard. God Bless those two girls. They should be immortalized here, not this peice of shit!!!!

You people are sick. Despite what this man did he was still human.

ROT IN HELL U FILTHY GRUBS
NOW SATAN IN HELL BEATS AND RAPES HIM EVERY DAY IN HELL.THATS WHAT HE DESERVES……………..
I think each and everyone of us are somewhat disturbed by being at a site like this in the first place…
you sickin me two wonderful ladies where just driveing and you hit the car with a brick and then hit them somewhere nobody will see you and stab them and raped them you need to die you son of a bitch
Another asshole gone! All the better for the rest of us!
may you burn in hell
I am not God and can not judge him, but I am not sorry he is dead
So who was his accomplice? Anyways, Yes this man deserved too die, too bad it took years and years of our money too keep him alive, The death sentence should be more swift.
What an evil piece of crap! I remember, during the trial, his stupid mommy tried to save him by testifying that his daddy abused him! AWWW! I guess that gives him a free ticket to rape and kill! We need to clean out all death rows of garbage like this! Spend all the money for the upkeep of these worthless SOB’s on education, or healthcare or anything but remorseless killers!
Dad and I want that none should perish but Lucifer can have this one.
Love Jesus
he wasn’t a man he was a demon and we are all better for his execution, may he forever be tormented for what he did
you cant fault his mom mothers always love their children and want to protect them
Hope your ass is suffering right now, you piece of dog shit
god dont jugde he forgives
For 22 years I helped foot the bill for this useless dirtbag’s eating habit and everything else. We are weak in the knees. Execution must come far more swiftly for the bottom-most level of the killers among us.
Haha.! Another pathetic person. For the girls he did that too. May yuh rest in peace and god bless your family. Richard is gonna burn in hell with the rest of the lowlifes like him. I hope yuh got raped in JAIL like you did to these poor Girls. Your PATHETIC.!

Its nice to see that he finely layed down an took what he deserved..but growing up as a friend an class mate of his. you would have never exspected anything like this but to be so dam selfish in the end..an maby your partner will reap the same someday
Scumbag. Burn and rot in hell you p.o.s.
Actually, if you people Reading this site actually took some time to read the Bible, you would realise that my dad is a complete shit and there’s very little contemporary evidence that I actually existed! Christianity is a bronze age cult, so do yourselves a favour and try thinking for yourselves. I suggest you start by Reading a book, perhaps something by Dawkins or Hitchens. By the way, this guy is a bad man.
rot in hell you piece of garbage
