Episode Details

Governor Bill Lee has denied clemency for Anthony Darrell Hines, setting his execution for August 13th at 10 AM — a move that upholds Tennessee’s death sentence from 1986. Convicted for the brutal 1985 murder of 54-year-old maid Catherine Jean Jenkins at the Cebon Motel, Hines admitted to stealing her car but insists he didn’t kill her. Despite his declining health — including multiple strokes that left him partially paralyzed — and his legal challenge to Tennessee’s lethal injection method, the governor’s decision leaves no room for reprieve. Hines’ final meal? A hearty Southern spread: fried chicken, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, corn, fries, biscuits, a chicken sandwich, chocolate chip cake, and sweet tea.
