One of Nashville's most notorious killers, Perry March, has taken his case back to court by suing the Department of Corrections and a food service provider for not providing him with Kosher meals.
In the complaint March wrote: "It's a case of gluttonous Wolves gorging unchecked on defenseless, captive sheep."
March was sentenced to a 56-year sentence after a jury found him guilty of second degree murder in the death of his wife Janet.
A man of Jewish faith, March has long complained about his treatment in prison claiming he's a victim of antisemitism.
He has sued the Tennessee Department of Corrections and the food service provider for, among other things, failing to give him Kosher meals.
"Your starting to see more and more of these cases in other states," said Newschannel5 legal analyst Nick Leonardo.
He pointed to Florida where inmates recently won a similar lawsuit.
"There's 10,000 prisoners in that state who have some dietary restrictions because of religion and it cost the state $12 million last year," said Leonardo.
Could the taxpayers in Tennessee face a similar verdict? Possibly, but Leonardo said there are limits to what March can ask for.
"I don't think he gets a menu," said Leonardo.
The state could mount a defense showing that inmates are already offered some Kosher options. If they succeed, it could mean another loss in court for Perry March.
It's worth noting that March's legal challenges to his murder conviction have run their course, and the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear his appeal.
As for March's lawsuit, the U.S. District Court had yet to schedule a hearing to consider it.
