- GOP lawmakers call for review of Tennessee’s execution process after failed lethal injection in 2026
Tennessee Republican senators are calling for an independent review of the state's execution process following a failed lethal injection attempt for death row inmate Tony Von Carruthers in May 2026. The execution was halted after the team could not establish a backup IV line, citing past issues with the Department of Correction's compliance with lethal injection protocols.
