Death row inmate Tony Carruthers won't face execution for at least a year after IV line failure in Tennessee

Tennessee death row inmate Tony Carruthers' execution was called off Thursday after medical personnel failed for over an hour to establish required intravenous lines. Governor Bill Lee announced the state will not attempt to execute Carruthers for at least a year. Carruthers was convicted in 1994 of kidnapping and murdering three people in Memphis, though his attorneys argue the conviction was based on flawed evidence and witness testimony.
