Doctor Linked to Botched Tennessee Execution Oversees Darrell Hines’s Lethal Injection

Anthony ‘Darrell’ Hines was executed by lethal injection in Tennessee, with Dr. Mark Walton Fowler—the same doctor accused of botching a prior Tennessee execution—participating in the procedure and declaring Hines’s time of death. The current execution followed a notorious earlier attempt that reportedly struggled with IV access, prompting renewed calls for investigation into the death-penalty process.
