Tennessee ‘closer’ to resuming executions after more than two-year pause

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Governor Bill Lee said he suspects the state is “closer than further” from having a new death penalty protocol in place, which is required before Tennessee can resume executions amid a two-year pause.

In April 2022, Gov. Lee ordered all executions be paused in TN after discovering the state wasn’t testing the lethal injection drugs as required in its own protocol, among other problems. Lee then tasked the TN Dept. of Correction and other organizations with developing a new death penalty protocol before the state could resume executions. Lee didn’t give the department a deadline to complete the protocol.

  1. Lethal injection not working? use rope and employ a gallows or build and employ a guillotine.
    Why should a murderer, whose victim likely spent minutes, if not hours quaking in terror before dying, be shown infinite kindness?
    Why, in the non-death-penalty states, should the tax-payers have to pay room and board for these people for many years until they die of natural causes?

  2. Certain crimes should be head first into a 55 gallon drum full of water.

  3. Or how about just a nice big injection of some high grade morphine or Fentenal? Works for me, work for you?

  4. Scuba gear hooked up to a nitrogen cylinder. Unconscious by the second breathe, dead in 2 minutes. Reusable too.

  5. " the state wasn’t testing the lethal injection drugs as required", best way to test it is to pump the dirtbag full of the stuff and see what happens.

  6. I just cant understand all this bullshit about how we cant kill some piece of trash that tortured and murdered someone because that might hurt their feelings? Its fucking simple, They die the same way the victim did, if no one wants to volunteer to hack them to pieces then a 22 to back of head works also. But honestly the Guillotine is the best choice in my opinion and it has a plus. The victims family can keep the head to mount it on the fireplace mantel or on a pike in the front yard. The only thing the Frogs ever got right.
