NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Lawyers for an executed inmate who objected to autopsy on religious grounds said Friday they were negotiating with state officials for a less invasive procedure.
The negotiations followed a Tuesday ruling that the state can perform an autopsy on Phillip Workman to determine whether the May 9 execution was conducted properly.
Workman's execution by lethal injection was the first conducted under newly revised Tennessee procedures.
