SUMMARY: Byron Black, a Tennessee death row inmate scheduled for execution on August 5, is seeking to delay his execution in a Davidson County courtroom. Convicted for the 1988 shooting deaths of his girlfriend and her two daughters, Black’s attorneys argue he is intellectually disabled and therefore incompetent for execution. A neuropsychologist testified, confirming Black’s intellectual disabilities based on evaluations and DSM-5 criteria, with assessments consistent since 2005. Additionally, there is discussion about requesting the deactivation of a medical device implanted in Black. The court is reviewing these claims to potentially reconsider Black’s sentence.
