Bill Lee: “I am an African-American woman who has a point of view where in a democracy those points of views are allowed.”

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.

We have really seen the airport board and commissioners just step right into one decision to the next to make sure that this happened.

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.
