Episode Details

Governor Bill Lee is doubling down on Tennessee’s execution plan, insisting the state followed protocol during the botched May execution and vowing no delays. Despite a medical team’s failure to find a vein, he claims the public supports current methods — even as one inmate, Tony Carruthers, gets a one-year reprieve. Lawyers for Darrell Hines, set for execution August 13, and Christa Pike, the lone woman on death row slated for September, are pushing for a pause. Republican lawmakers have demanded a halt to all executions until an independent review is done, calling for greater accountability — while the state remains silent on whether the same medical team will return.
