NOW: With A Needle In His Arm, Death Row Inmate Has Execution Called Off

View descriptionShare
 

Death row inmate Tony Carruthers was scheduled to die by lethal injection this morning in Tennessee. The execution was initially delayed as officials awaited the Supreme Court’s decision on an ACLU emergency filing asking for a stay of execution to test DNA from the case.  Once SCOTUS denied the request, medical personnel spent an hour and a half looking for a suitable vein for a backup line and could not find one.  Officials then called off the execution and as we recorded this episode, the Governor issued a reprieve for Carruthers for one year.
