Lawyers are seeking to block the Oct. 7 lethal injection of Texas death-row inmate Jamaal Howard, who is scheduled to be executed at 7 p.m. EDT.
The Hill reported Oct. 7, 2026, that the request follows the botched lethal injection attempts against Christa Pike in Tennessee.
The Hill is the source of the report; the article provided the scheduling and the lawyers’ effort to halt the execution but did not include additional details in the excerpt provided to Tippah News.
