Bill Lee: “So what do we need to do to get you to do that, to submit a line-item for us?”

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.

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

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.

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.
