- A daughter wants her mom remembered as a victim, not just a case, before Tennessee execution
Anthony Darrell Hines, a Tennessee death row inmate, is scheduled for execution on August 13 for the 1985 murder of motel maid Catherine Jenkins. A legal battle arises over whether Dr. Mark Fowler, involved in a failed May execution of Tony Carruthers, will participate in Hines' execution. Melissa Jenkins, Catherine's daughter, advocates for her mother's memory and closure, opposing further delays despite concerns over Tennessee's lethal injection process.
