Bill Lee: “The United States acting to save lives while helping to build a foundation for an improved governance”

I hope that Tennessee governor Bill Lee’s decision to postpone the last execution scheduled for this year will give lawmakers time to consider the subject seriously.

The people of our state deserve to have those questions answered. And that’s what this investigation’s for.

I have ordered a pause on all executions for the remainder of the year.

It’s exactly why we will have a thorough, comprehensive review of what happened, so that we can know the answers that so many people want.
