Tennessee readies for execution of man with working implanted defibrillator
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee is gearing up for an execution on Tuesday that experts say would likely mark the first time a man has been put to death with a working defibrillator in his chest. Gov. Bill Lee declined Monday to grant a reprieve, clearing the way for Byron Black's execution after a legal battle and ongoing uncertainty about whether the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator will shock his heart when the lethal drug takes effect. The nonprofit Death Penalty Information Center said it's unaware of any other cases in which a person on death row made similar claims to Black's about defibrillators or pacemakers. Black's attorneys said they haven't found a comparable case, either. Lee said the courts have 'universally determined that it is lawful to carry out the jury's sentence of execution given to Mr. Black for the heinous murders of Angela Clay and her daughters Lakeisha, age 6, and Latoya, age 9.' The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday rejected Black's appeals. The execution would be Tennessee's second since May, after a pause for five years, first because of COVID-19 and then because of missteps by state corrections officials. Twenty-seven men have died by court-ordered execution so far this year in the U.S., and nine other people are scheduled to be put to death in seven states during the remainder of 2025. The number of executions this year exceeds the 25 carried out last year and in 2018. It is the highest total since 2015, when 28 people were put to death. Black's condition Black, 69, is in a wheelchair, and he has dementia, brain damage, kidney failure, congestive heart failure and other conditions, his attorneys have said. The implantable cardioverter-defibrillator he has is a small, battery-powered electronic device that is surgically implanted in the chest. It serves as a pacemaker and an emergency defibrillator. Black's attorneys say in order to be sure it's off, a doctor must place a programming device over the implant site, sending it a deactivation command, with no surgery required. In mid-July, a trial court judge agreed with Black's attorneys that officials must have his device deactivated to avert the risk that it could cause unnecessary pain and prolong the execution. But the state Supreme Court intervened July 31 to overturn that decision, saying the other judge lacked the authority to order the change. The state has disputed that the lethal injection would cause Black's defibrillator to shock him. Even if shocks were triggered, Black wouldn't feel them, the state said. Black's attorneys have countered that even if the lethal drug being used, pentobarbital, renders someone unresponsive, they aren't necessarily unaware or unable to feel pain. Kelley Henry, Black's attorney, said the execution could become a 'grotesque spectacle.' The legal case also spurred a reminder that most medical professionals consider participation in executions a violation of health care ethics. Black's case Black was convicted in the 1988 shooting deaths of his girlfriend Angela Clay, 29, and her two daughters. Prosecutors said he was in a jealous rage when he shot the three at their home. At the time, Black was on work-release while serving time for shooting Clay's estranged husband. Linette Bell, whose sister and two nieces were killed, recently told WKRN-TV: 'He didn't have mercy on them, so why should we have mercy on him?' Intellectual disability claim In recent years, Black's legal team has unsuccessfully tried to get a new hearing over whether he is intellectually disabled and ineligible for the death penalty under U.S. Supreme Court precedent. His attorneys have said that if they had delayed a prior attempt to seek his intellectual disability claim, he would have been spared under a 2021 state law. Nashville District Attorney Glenn Funk contended in 2022 that Black is intellectually disabled and deserved a hearing under that 2021 law, but the judge denied it. That is because the 2021 law denies a hearing to people on death row who have already filed a similar request and a court has ruled on it 'on the merits.' In Funk's attempt, he focused on input from an expert for the state in 2004 who determined back then that Black didn't meet the criteria for what was then called 'mental retardation.' But she concluded that Black met the new law's criteria for a diagnosis of intellectual disability. Black also sought a determination by the courts that he is incompetent to be executed.

Minnetrista mom of 3 uses data and science through Edina lab to improve her life
The beginning of August is peak training season for the Twin Cities Marathon. One participant of this year's race is a mom of three from Minnetrista, Minnesota, who is taking extra steps to make sure she's running her best and in the safest way. "I had my third baby. I wasn't feeling good," said Valerie Vadnais Wall. "I was tired all the time taking care of everybody else and not myself." She's been running for the last 10 years, and has seen huge improvement in her health. "I've lost 65 pounds," said Vadnais Wall. She loved running so much that she joined a group of women in the Chaska/Chanhassen community to keep her motivated. "I decided that I want to have fun and join something that is empowering, and it was Mom's On The Run," said Vadnais Wall. Now, she's preparing for her fourth marathon, which is taking place in the Twin Cities, and has decided to take her training to the next level. As a dentist who co-owns a practice, she believes in the science and importance of data. "I don't want to succumb to the health diseases, like diabetes, high blood pressure. My mom has dementia, and I didn't want that for myself, so I wanted to take the power to have the data and then to do better," said Vadnais Wall, who came to Kelly McKenzie at the Human Powered Health lab in Edina, Minnesota. "It's nice to have data to validate what you're doing is working for you," said McKenzie. At the lab, McKenzie measures her oxygen levels, heart rate, bone strength and balance. "For her going into premenopause, and then menopause eventually, you want to make sure that your bone is in a really healthy spot, so that when your estrogen starts to decrease, your bone will naturally go with it," said McKenzie. This type of testing is not reserved for elite athletes. It's recommended for everyone seeking to further their knowledge on their health and well-being. "I'm not a professional athlete, so it's a little intimidating, but [Kelly] made it super easy and comfortable, and I'm excited to know that all this hard work is paying off," said Vadnais Wall. This type of testing will help Vadnais Wall with basic things outside of running, like lifting groceries and walking up stairs, to avoid any injuries. "I do feel that, at 51, I'm in the best shape of my life, even after my 20s and 30s, so I'm excited," said Vadnais Wall. "I do want to be that role model to other people, to other women who are middle-aged." Vadnais Wall will be running the Twin Cities Marathon on Oct. 5 with her kids cheering her on along the course.
