AI Summary:
Byron Black's execution has been delayed multiple times, but a date was set on August 5 for him to receive a lethal injection. In July, his defence team argued the execution could not proceed without first deactivating Black’s defibrillator, for fear it would continuously shock his heart as he passed away. Tennessee Supreme Court overturned that decision, arguing that removing the device in advance would amount to a “stay of execution”. Botched executions have been a subject of debate for years in the US. The US executed 24 people in 2023, the third-highest number of confirmed executions in the world after Iran and Saudi Arabia.
