Kelley Henry: Death Row Defitorney

Since the state of Tennessee is to restart this month, the public defender of Federal Kelley Henry is even more busy than usual. Her customer Oscar Smith is the first man to kill the Rivanbend Maximum Security Institution in Nashville. Your team exhausted its legal options and Smith is to be executed on May 22nd. He will spend 14 days with the death guard instead of the usual three.

The medication used to carry out this execution of Pentobarbital is not without controversy, and the state has not announced where or how it received its care. Henry has pushed for transparency and claims that the state should not be able to hide the identity or identity of the person who has delivered the medication. Whatever the result may be, Henry is determined to continue to fight for the rights of her boys – a struggle that she promised to continue as long as she lives.
