A group of medical professionals is calling for a pause in executions in Tennessee. The request comes after a botched attempt to execute an inmate, which reportedly left the individual partially paralyzed. The incident in question occurred in May and involved inmate Tony Carruthers.

Further details about the incident and the request to pause executions can be found through local news sources. A press conference is scheduled to take place in Nashville to discuss the matter further, where those who signed a letter to the governor will speak.
