Florida Executing #15, as Tennessee “Botched” Lethal Injection  Method is Challenged

The state of Florida continues its record setting year of 14
executions and counting, with number 15 scheduled for Tuesday,
October 28th. In an unusual move, 65-year-old Norman Grim has
chosen not to fight tomorrow’s scheduled lethal injection for the
1998 rape and murder of his next door neighbor.  Meantime,
in Tennessee, a lawsuit challenging the state’s lethal injection
method, claims the August 5th execution of Byron Black was
botched, his autopsy showing sustained cardiac activity 2 minutes
after he was pronounced dead, with his final words “It’s hurting
so bad."
