Bill Lee: “We have a lot of sick veterans that need access to care.”

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.

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.

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

So far as we know, the Department of Correction followed exactly the protocol that was outlined and vetted and approved by the attorney general’s office.
