Episode Details

Anthony Darrell Hines, 66, was executed by lethal injection at Tennessee’s Riverbend prison after a 40-year wait — the first death penalty case of 2024. Convicted for the 1985 murder of maid Catherine Jenkins, who was stabbed during a robbery at the Cebon Motel, Hines admitted to stealing her car but always denied killing her. His daughter, Melissa, traveled from Florida to witness the execution, honoring her mother — a devout Christian who loved cooking and gardening. Hines had challenged Tennessee’s lethal injection protocol in court, but the U.S. Supreme Court declined his final appeal on the morning of his death. Other executions loom: Christa Pike (Sept. 30) and Gary Sutton (Dec. 3), underscoring the state’s relentless pace and the enduring toll on victims’ families.
