Bruce Tuck, also known as the 'Big-Bellied Rapist,' filed a 10-page petition on his own behalf. Among other things, the 275 pound man said jailers fed him only lettuce. When they offered him chips and soda, he was quick to confess to 19 felony charges that led to a 60 year sentence. Tuck, who is locked up in the Weakley County Jail, said his guilty plea was involuntary on six grounds. Tuck said the year prior to the conviction, he was institutionalized with bipolar and suicidal tendencies and was not taking his medication at the time of his arrest. ## LARRY 7-3129 // START WITH T
