Tennessee to Execute Inmate Anthony Hines After State’s Last Lethal Injection Attempt Failed
The state of Tennessee is set to move forward with a lethal injection execution on Aug. 13, even after a recent controversy rocked the state’s Department of Corrections.
66-year-old Anthony Darrell Hines, who’s set to be executed at 11a.m. Thursday at Nashville’s Riverbend Maximum Security Institution, was sentenced to death in 1986 for the murder of Catherine Jean Jackson Jenkins. Despite a jury convicting Hines of felony murder in 1986, the 66-year-old has maintained his innocence.
But Hines’ execution is surrounded by controversy, after lawyers and advocates raised concerns about the state’s execution team. In May, executioners failed to properly establish a backup IV line on Tony Carruthers, another death row inmate, forcing the execution to be aborted.
