Bill Lee: “What this witness just said, I don't understand then why, by your own analysis, 1 million children are going to lose…”

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.

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

I will seek an independent investigation and pause all executions for the rest of 2026.

There are a lot of questions.
