Death Row Prisoner Tony Carruthers Wins One-Year Reprieve After Tennessee Botches His Execution
Tennessee has called off the execution of Tony Carruthers after prison officials were unable to find a vein to administer lethal injection drugs. On Thursday, Republican Governor Bill Lee issued a one-year reprieve to Carruthers over the botched execution, which came despite his claims of innocence and demands for a new trial. Laura Porter, the executive director of the U.S. Campaign to End the Death Penalty, told The New York Times, “Tennessee has effectively made the case against the death penalty.”
Hooters plans to rebrand more than a hundred restaurants as 'family-friendly'
Hooters says it wants to rebrand into a family friendly restaurant.
Longtime CEO Neil Kiefer says the restaurant chain initially started as a beach-themed, family style restaurant, and now he will make sure the famous servers wear the original uniform instead of the now iconic short shorts.
He says some locations under different ownership implemented clothing that was more revealing and too sexualized.
Kiefer also says some restaurant locations used the wrong wing sauce, and he promises to go back to the original recipe.
Hooters of America filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2025. Kiefer and other original co-owners reacquired the rights and announced plans to return more than 100 locations to the brand's original roots.
Metro Nashville Public Schools serve free meals to students this summer
-
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Metro Nashville Public Schools released an updated list of schools participating in this year’s Summer Food Service Program (SFSP).

The income guidelines for reduced-price meals vary based on family size. More information on income guidelines can be found at USDA.gov.

All Roads Lead To The South rally brings old and new generations together in fight for Black voting rights
Under the Alabama sun, shouts and chants could be heard for miles, all in the name of the power of the Black vote.
Weeks after the monumental Louisiana vs. Callais decision that gutted more parts of the Voting Rights Act, thousands descended upon Alabama’s state capitol, as well as Selma, for the “All Roads Lead To The South” rally to drum up awareness of the disenfranchisement of Black voters in neighboring southern states such as Tennessee and Florida.
Alabama, Georgia, and Louisiana state legislatures seem poised to draw up new maps ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, while Mississippi has paused redistricting efforts, though Governor Tate Reeves will consider the position at a later date.
Among those in attendance were Montgomery mayor Steven L. Reed, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Sen. Cory Booker (D-NY), Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA), Rep. Terri Sewell (D-AL), Rep. Shomari Figures (D-AL) and thousands more who traveled to Montgomery via bus, car, or plane thanks to grassroots organizing by local orgs and national civil engagement groups.
“We’re here, Montgomery, not at a stopping point, but at a starting point,” Reed, the first Black person to hold the position of Mayor in Montgomery, said. “We’re here in this city because of the spirit, because of the courage and because of the commitment of our forefathers and foremothers who got us to this point.”
“When Republicans are literally turning back the clock on what representation, what the faces of representation, look like, what the opportunities, legitimate opportunities for representation look like across this country, then I think it starts to resonate with people in a little bit of a different way,” Figures said.

Three Sisters Found Dead At Popular Tourist Beach: 'They Were My Joy'
A family is grieving an unimaginable loss. Three sisters from London have been identified after their bodies were recovered from the waters off Brighton beach earlier this month — and the questions surrounding their deaths remain unanswered.
According to People, Sussex Police identified the women as Jane Adetoro, 36, Christina Walter, 32, and Rebecca Walter, 31 — all from the Uxbridge area of London. Their bodies were discovered near Black Rock beach off Madeira Drive in Brighton during the early morning hours of May 13, after authorities responded to concerns about a person in the water.
Police say the investigation remains ongoing, but officials have stated there is currently no indication of third-party involvement or criminal activity connected to the deaths.
Authorities are reportedly continuing to review CCTV footage and conduct interviews as they work to determine exactly what happened.
Police are appealing for anyone who may have seen the three women around the Madeira Drive area between 10 pm on Tuesday, May 12, and 5:30 am on Wednesday, May 13, to come forward.
Their father, Joseph, released a tribute through Sussex Police. "Jane, Christina, and Becky were more than daughters to me — they were my joy, my strength, and the beautiful light that filled our family with happiness and love," he said.
He remembered each daughter individually: Jane for her strength and loving spirit, Christina for her kindness and beautiful heart, and Becky for the warmth and joy she brought everywhere she went.
"The tragedy of losing all three of you has left an emptiness that words cannot heal," Joseph continued. "Rest peacefully, my precious daughters. You may be gone from our sight, but never from our hearts. Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever remembered."
Chief Superintendent Adam Hays, Divisional Commander for Brighton and Hove, said the force would "leave no stone unturned" in the investigation and asked the public to give the family privacy as they grieve.
