Скачать или смотреть Was Byron Black's execution "cruel and unusual"?

Byron Black, a 69‑year‑old death row inmate in Tennessee convicted of murdering his girlfriend and her two young daughters in 1988, was executed by lethal injection on August 5, 2025, despite vocal objections from his legal team over his implanted cardioverter‑defibrillator (ICD). His attorneys warned that the active device could repeatedly shock his heart during the execution, potentially causing unnecessary pain. A lower court had ordered the defibrillator be deactivated, but the Tennessee Supreme Court overturned that ruling, allowing the execution to proceed. Witnesses reported Black crying out, “It’s hurting so bad,” suggesting the device may have activated—a claim now prompting his lawyers to request an autopsy and analysis of the ICD data.
