Anthony Darrell Dugard Hines faces planned execution for the murder of Catherine Jean Jackson Jenkins, an event his supporters argue is flawed after forty years. The crime occurred when Hines checked into the Ce’Bon Motel in Kingston Springs, where Jenkins later had her body found with knife wounds and signs of sexual assault. Later that day, Hines was discovered near Jenkins' broken-down car, his clothing stained with dried blood.

Attorneys for death row inmate Darrell Hines petitioned Tennessee Governor Bill Lee to commute his August 13 execution date, citing the state’s failure to follow execution protocols after a botched lethal injection of Tony Carruthers, Hines’ medical fragility from strokes, and doubts about his 1985 murder conviction. A judge has ordered the Tennessee Department of Correction to disclose the doctor for Hines’ execution.
