Episode Details

Darrell Hines, set for execution this Thursday in Tennessee, is fighting a desperate legal battle to avoid being forcibly straightened during his final moments — a procedure his lawyers say would cause severe pain due to paralysis from two recent strokes. They’re pushing for an alternative: securing him with his arm at his side and using other limbs for IV lines, arguing it’s the only humane option. Scheduled for death at 10 AM for a 1985 murder, Hines’ team is racing against time to prevent unnecessary suffering as the state prepares for what could be one of the most medically contentious executions in recent history.
