FILE - In this July 9, 2019, file photo Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee speaks during a groundbreaking ceremony for the new soccer club stadium in East Ridge, Tenn. Lee says he doesn't feel compelled to witness an execution as Tennessee continues to put people to death. Lee, a Republican, was offered a witness seat after he declined to stop the past two executions since taking over Tennessee's top political office in January. Three more executions are scheduled to take place through early 2020. (C.B. Schmelter/Chattanooga Times Free Press via AP, File)
