New Actor: Tennessee Executes Anthony Darrell Hines
Tennessee executed Anthony Darrell Hines by lethal injection at Riverbend Maximum Security Institution in Nashville on August 13.
Hines was sentenced to death for the 1985 murder of Catherine Jenkins and had spent about 40 years on death row.
This was Tennessee’s first execution of 2026. The state’s default method is lethal injection unless a qualifying inmate chooses the electric chair.
The date fell on a day when multiple states moved forward with executions. Tennessee and Oklahoma carried out executions, and Alabama had also scheduled one for the same day.
With Hines’s sentence carried out, his case concluded.
