“Tennessee [state employees killed] death row inmate Byron Black on Tuesday despite raised concerns about his implanted heart device, which could cause a ‘prolonged and torturous execution.’ Black, who was convicted 37 years ago for killing Angela Clay and her two daughters, 9-year-old Latoya and 6-year-old Lakeisha, was [killed] by lethal injection at 11 a.m. EDT at the Riverbend Maximum Security Institution in Nashville. … On July 22, a judge ordered that the heart implant be removed before his execution, but Nashville hospital declined to participate.” (08/05/25)
