Bill Lee: “This is an inflection moment. This is the time when we have to fight on all fronts for our rights on so many efforts…”

It’s a tragedy, and it’s deeply disturbing that that has happened in this state. The people deserve better than that.

The people of Tennessee have determined that the death penalty is the appropriate penalty for the most heinous crimes in the state.

We have really seen the airport board and commissioners just step right into one decision to the next to make sure that this happened.

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.
