WASHINGTON: A blind man was executed by the US state of Tennessee on Thursday for burning his ex-girlfriend to death.
He was pronounced dead at 7.26pm local time, according to a statement from the Tennessee Department of Correction. Hall’s lawyers argued last year that executing him would “offend humanity” because he is blind due to glaucoma. “The justice system has extensively reviewed Lee Hall’s case over the course of almost 30 years, including additional review and rulings by the Tennessee Supreme Court yesterday and today,” Lee said in a statement.Lawyers then filed a last-minute appeal with the US Supreme Court, which was also denied.
