Episode Details

Tennessee’s top court has shut down a death row inmate’s last-ditch bid to know if the same botched-execution doctor will handle his scheduled execution — sparking outrage from his lawyers who warn it could lead to another agonizing failure. The doctor, Mark Fowler, was involved in Tony Carruthers’ failed May attempt, where IV lines couldn’t be secured and Carruthers received a reprieve. Hines, who suffers from two strokes and limited mobility, fears repeating that horror. His team demanded either a different physician or a delay — both denied. Governor Bill Lee stands firm, calling the death penalty’s administration “one of the most difficult responsibilities,” insisting no pause is needed despite mounting legal and ethical concerns.
