Tennessee in Rush to Execute Inmates


State officials in Tennessee are asking the State Supreme Court to set execution dates for 10 inmates on death row. The Tennessean says the state is making the unprecedented move now that it believes it’s clear of the latest round of challenges to the state’s death penalty. Tennessee has only executed six inmates since 1960, and none since 2009.
