Hall lost his eyesight while on death row for the murder of his ex girlfriend:
But his defense have argued that the execution should be commuted because of his disability, citing research that blind people are more sensitive to pain.Hall went blind after developing glaucoma while on death row, which the state Department of Correction refused to treat, his attorneys claim.
The only thing that can stop it now is the federal courts; if not, "Tennessee will become the first state in modern United States history to electrocute a blind man," attorney Kelly Gleason said on Wednesday. "It is a sad day for justice in the state of Tennessee." Traci was burned alive in her car on the night of April 16, 1991. The former couple had gotten into an argument; when she laughed at his suggestion they get back together, he got out of the car, stuffed a paper towel into a gas container, lit it, and threw it back in.
Lee will enjoy a Philly cheesesteak, two orders of onion rings, a slice of cheesecake and a Pepsi as his last meal before he is put to death via electrocution on Thursday night.
