Steven Hayes, convicted and sentenced to die along with Joshua Komisarjevsky, for the triple murder of the Petit family of Cheshire, nearly five years ago, tried to commit suicide by eating oysters. In an interview with the Hartford Courant
, Hayes said he attempted to concoct a story that he was a serial killer in the hopes prison guards would contact authorities. He then intended to tell them information behind the murders, in return for oysters. Hayes says he is allergic to oysters and could die, if he ate them. Hayes says he wants the death penalty, although with the appeal process, he recognizes it may be years, before he is executed by the state.

Hayes Wanted to Commit Suicide by Eating Oysters
Filed in: News
who ever devised a law to keep this man alive as far as I am concerned is as guilty of committing the heinous murders committed by this freak.I’m sure the victims survivors of the crime must really love our legislators. I abhor every single one of them and hope the same faith awaits them. An eye for an eye.
The appeal process, another law deviced to line the pockets of freak lawyers with gold. So it costs millions upon millions to retry these creeps without any further evidence of their innocence. Many of them are on death row for year after year after year and trial after trial costing the taxpayers in the millions all because of an outrageous moronic law. So in order to save money our legislators decide to spare the lives regardless of how monstrous the criminal is.
A possible horrendous tragedy always lurks when someone is convicted of a crime that he may be innocent of.. But remember, if there is a reasonable doubt you don’t convict in a case of murder and nothing could be more reasonable than that. But when all evidence points to guilt the process must continue or we have no justice, just a jungle.
Any media outlet would have to be cruel or an idiot to print this story. Or both.
The cruelty of it, in reference to the surviving loved ones of the three girls, should be obvious, to anyone with compassion.
The idiocy of it is just as clear.
1) Hayes is a sociopath. Why would any reporter believe anything he said? A major part of THIS story is his confessions of lies. Anyone thinking?
2) Hayes knows this is a cruel story for the Petit/Hawke families and, I suggest, that is the very reason he did this. Enter media, stage left, to facilitate it.
3) Does anyone believe Hayes wants to die? Oh yes, he must keep his promise to his attorney. Lying would be just too much of a dishonorable leap for a kidnapper/rapist/ torturer/arsonist/multiple murderer. What a pair. (see NOTE)
4) Hayes, do the honorable thing. Waive appeals and be executed.
5) Hey, maybe the media will start the Komisarjevsky/Hayes NewsHour. Would anyone be surprised?
NOTE:
When Hayes was sentenced to death, what did Hayes’ defense counsel, Ullman, say?
“Today when the court sentences Steven Hayes to death everyone becomes a killer. We all become Steven Hayes.”
The moral decay of Ullman’s statement is hard to fathom, as is the profound cruelty of when and to whom he voiced it.
Bill Petit, the extended Hawke/Petit family, loved ones and friends were in the courtroom. Ullman called all of them Steven Hayes.
Grotesque.
Too bad he can’t get himself placed in the general population- he’d get more than oysters!
