Thomas Grasso was convicted for the strangulation of an 87-year-old woman at her home, and an 81-year-old man just six months later, as part of a series of home robberies. His final meal was an extravagant feast of two dozen steamed mussels, two dozen steamed clams, a cheeseburger, half a dozen spare ribs, two strawberry milkshakes, strawberries, half a pumpkin pie, and a can of spaghetti with meatballs. This spawned Grasso's famous last words, "I did not get my Spaghetti-O's, I got spaghetti. I want the press to know this."
