Bill Lee: “As we act, let us not become the evil that we deplore.”

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.

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

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

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