Bill Lee: “I know your work very intimately and I just have to take this moment to thank you so much because all of you are doing…”

There are a lot of questions.

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.

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.
