Man admits murder, gets break from jail food

Jail food doesn’t exactly have the best reputation, but this seems a little extreme.
Tremayne Durham, 33, pleaded guilty to a 2006 murder in exchange for buckets of fried chicken and lasagna and pizza.
After Durham said he’d enter the plea, the judge agreed to a spread of fried chicken from KFC and Popeye’s, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, carrot cake and ice cream, the AP reports.
More was to come after the sentencing – calzones, lasagna, pizza and ice cream.
Along with the food, Durham threw in a quickie wedding (not part of the deal).
The crime was food related, as well. 
Durham ordered a truck from an Oregon company to sell ice cream.
Then Durham decided the ice cream business wasn’t for him, and asked for a refund, but the company declined. He went to Oregon in search of the owner, but instead killed Adam Calbreath, a former employee.
