A Tennessee death row inmate cried out in pain after the state refused to deactivate his implanted defibrillator as he was executed for murdering his girlfriend and her two young daughters.
Byron Black, 69, was pronounced dead at 10:43 a.m., about 10 minutes after receiving a lethal injection at the Riverbend Maximum Security Institution in Nashville, according to state correctional officials.

Yeah, I remember wincing after I was sedated for carotid surgery......FRIGGIN’ NOT! They could have ended me and I would never have known. Well except I wouldn’t have seen who I thought I was gonna see. 🤔🙏😂👍
I am laughing with delight. Thank you, Tennessee.
Well, if the death penalty opponents had not done everything that they have to keep sedation and anesthetic drugs from being used ‘off label’, we wouldn’t have this problem, would we?
Any pain being experienced is directly the cause of death penalty opponents own actions.

Jim “Miss Cleo” Acosta?
Preview what you will be getting in the afterlife.
Somehow I’m not getting all tore up here.
We are having chicken parmesan over angel hair pasta tonight.
Can’t wait...
I wonder if the murdered girl friend and her daughters cried out in pain when they were killed? I bet this nice man put them permanently to sleep with no pain at all with tender loving compassion. /s/
I wonder how his THREE innocent victims cried out in pain while he was murdering them? Did he forget to use anesthesia on them first?
awwwwwwwwwwww poor loaf..here let me pretend to give a damn..yeah, Im not that good an actress, sorry
In the old Cagney movie “Angels with Dirty Faces”, Cagney ends up on death row, but he is a hero to younger hoodlums. The priests suggests to Cagney that he is not the role model the young boys need. At first Cagney seems not to care, and plays it tough. But, as Cagney is dragged to the electric chair he starts to scream and cry and his last moments are spent in fear. The younger guys start to rethink their futures after that. The priest is satisfied.
On the flip side, I think death row inmates are visited by activists who tell them that the death penalty is in place today only because it is “painless”. But — if you scream out in pain at the end, maybe people will believe you and decide that the death penalty is barbaric. In short: the inmates who scream at the end are faking, in my opinion.
That quote is from an attorney. And that attorney is, at best, a fool.
Gentle and kind people don’t kill innocent people. And especially not children.
You're lucky you never had a horrible colonoscopy. The worse experience in my life was waking up and farting endlessly.....
Well, drinking all that crap the night before wasn't very pleasant either.....LOL!
Maybe a televised firing squad would be better. Aim for the defibrillator.
Gotta love how the NYP selectively omitts their comment section whenever a black is involved in the article..
Done it several times. Yeww! ‘Butt’ nothing of concern ever found. Couple beer cans, some change...... 😳😊👍
