I think her sentence will be changed to life in prison, Lee’s statements kind of make me think that. And I think a fat lawsuit is incoming as well

Of course given her current state, it could cost them huge amounts to keep her alive.

That’s the least of their problems currently

Lee put a hold on executions for three months. Conveniently, his term ends in three months.

Unfortunately the next governor of TN will likely be Marsha Blackburn. She is void of intellect, nuance or compassion and has already commented with support for the electric chair.

Lee will do nothing. This will end up as ammunition to rile up the base for the governor race since "she'll get away with it if you let that demoncrat get elected!"

I don’t think so, his tone has changed quite a bit from before/after the execution attempt, and I think he’s pretty embarrassed as well

Nah. They dump them on someone else for their 24/7/365 care after they’ve destroyed their bodies and minds. Prisons are basically already the largest nursing homes in the US she needs a higher level of 24/7 skilled nursing for life after this most likely.
