A first-of-its-kind legal battle before Byron Black’s execution centered on whether his implanted cardiac device would shock him during lethal injection.

He was convicted in the 1987 triple murder of 29-year-old Angela Clay and her two young daughters and sentenced to death.

Bell’s sister, Angela Clay, and her daughters LaToya, 9, and Lakeisha, 6, were gunned down inside their Nashville home. Byron Black was convicted of their murders in 1989.

He also received life sentences for killing his ex-girlfriend Angela Clay and her 9-year-old daughter, Latoya. The three were shot to death in their Nashville home in March 1988.

A Chancery Court judge says the state must disconnect the heart defibrillator shortly before the inmate's August execution to avoid a prolonged death.
