Wow! Tennessee tried to execute Tony Carruthers for murdering 3 people in 1994, but it all fell apart. Doctors spent over an hour trying to get an IV line (like a medical tube) working... and failed! 🩺 They couldn't find a backup vein, so the governor called it off. The lawyer for Carruthers saw him 'wincing and groaning' during the struggle and cried when the execution was stopped. Now, Tennessee won't try again for a whole year.
This isn't new! In Idaho, they tried 8 times to do the same thing. Alabama's had IV failures too. Experts say the process is getting messy - some states even switched to firing squads. Carruthers' lawyers argue he should get DNA testing and mental health checks before execution.
