Two states are set to execute their respective oldest death row inmates Thursday night in a rare U.S. occurrence.
Tennessee plans to execute 72-year-old Oscar Franklin Smith by lethal injection for the 1989 brutal triple slaying of his estranged wife and her two teenage sons.
Nearly 750 miles southwest, Carl Wayne Buntion, age 78, is scheduled to be put to death in Texas by the same means for the 1990 murder of Houston Police Officer James Irby.
