Bill Lee: “Great. Thank you, Mr. Chair and Ranking Member.”

There are a lot of questions. The people of our state deserve to have those questions answered.

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

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.

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