Tennessee Death Row Inmate Complains of “Intense Pain” During Execution

A Tennessee death row inmate, Byron Black, was put to death on Tuesday, August 5, for the 1998 murders of three women. Black, who was implanted with a heart-regulating device, reportedly experienced “intense pain” during the lethal injection process. Despite pleas to deactivate the device to avoid a “torturous death,” his requests were denied.

Black was convicted of the murders of his girlfriend, Angela Clay, and her two young daughters, LaToya and LaKeisha, who were shot and killed in a Nashville home. Concerns arose about the 69-year-old inmate’s heart device potentially shocking him back to life during the execution. Witnesses reported that Black screamed out in pain and groaned as the injection was administered, indicating his discomfort.

Before the execution, Black’s attorneys raised concerns about the need to turn off his implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). Black, who was also suffering from dementia, brain damage, kidney failure, congestive heart failure, and other conditions, was in a wheelchair at the time of his death.

On Monday, August 4, the United States Supreme Court denied all applications for a stay of execution, and Tennessee Governor Lee announced that he would not intervene. Black’s final meal included a pizza with mushrooms and sausage, donuts, and butter pecan ice cream.

Following Black’s execution, his defense team expressed outrage at the handling of the situation, calling it “pure, unbridled bloodlust” and criticizing the abuse of government power. They highlighted the need for a closer examination of the circumstances surrounding Black’s death and pledged to review autopsy results, EKG data, and information from the defibrillator.

Black’s attorney released a statement condemning the execution and the legal system that allowed it to proceed. They warned of the erosion of the rule of law and principles of human decency, urging for accountability and justice in such cases.

In response to Black’s death, a statement from a family member of the victims expressed relief and closure. They thanked God for the resolution after 37 years of waiting for justice and emphasized the significance of the day for their family. The statement highlighted the lack of remorse from Black and the impact of his actions on the victims’ loved ones.

Overall, Black’s execution has sparked debate and raised questions about the ethics and practices surrounding capital punishment in the United States. As the legal and moral implications of such cases continue to be examined, the impact on all parties involved remains a central concern.
