    Public defenders ask governor to delay all executions amid litigation

    Federal public defenders in Tennessee are urging Gov. Bill Lee to delay all death row executions while litigation over the state's lethal injection protocol continues, following a botched execution on May 21 and concerns about procedural violations. The Department of Correction failed to properly execute Tony Carruthers, causing him severe suffering, and public defenders argue the state is ignoring legal warnings about staff competency and protocol adherence.
