A convicted murderer put to death in Nashville on Wednesday got his last meal wish after he died.

Philip Workman had turned down the usual final meal of his choice traditionally offered the condemned, asking instead that a vegetarian pizza be given to a homeless person. Prison officials refused, but news accounts of his request touched a nerve with the public.

Nashville's Union Rescue Mission received 170 pizzas. Listeners to a radio station in Minnesota also reportedly ordered pizzas sent to an organization for troubled youths.
