Bill Lee: “So that is one of the missions of the Institute, yet the funding does not seem to follow the huge job that we have asked…”

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.

There are a lot of questions.
