Tennessee to execute inmate Anthony Hines after state's last lethal injection attempt failed

Tennessee is proceeding with the execution of Anthony Darrell Hines on August 13th. The case is mired in controversy following a botched execution attempt in May, where the state failed to establish a backup IV line for another inmate. Lawyers are now petitioning for a delay, citing concerns over the competence of the execution team and potential Eighth Amendment violations.
