An EKG showed heart activity in Tennessee inmate Byron Black nearly two minutes after he was declared dead during his August 2025 execution, prompting legal challenges to the state’s lethal injection protocol.
An attorney for Tennessee inmate Byron Black said an EKG showed heart activity nearly two minutes after he was declared dead during his August 2025 execution, raising questions about the state’s lethal injection protocol.
Kelley Henry made the claim during a court hearing over whether attorneys can depose execution team members in a lawsuit challenging the procedure’s constitutionality.
The lawsuit cites multiple execution issues, including a May 2025 incident where an EKG machine recorded no data due to missing paper.
State officials oppose depositions, citing safety concerns, and suggest corrections officials testify instead.
A trial is scheduled for April 2026.
