Bill Lee: “The United States policy toward Cuba over the last 60 years has resulted in no tangible proof that these policies move…”

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

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.

Carrying out a lawfully imposed sentence is among the State’s most serious responsibilities, and the people of Tennessee expect it to be done in a manner that is not only legal and constitutional, but is effective.

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