A Tennessee man convicted of killing his ex-girlfriend by setting her on fire in her car almost 30 years ago is scheduled to be executed by electric chair on Thursday. Lee Hall, 54, is set to die at 7 p.m. (0100 GMT) at the Riverbend Maximum Security Institution in Nashville for the 1991 murder of Traci Crozier. In the spring of 1991, Crozier moved in with her grandmother and uncle in Chattanooga after breaking up with Hall, who she lived with for five years. The neighbor said that Crozier remained alert, telling her that Hall set the fire and saying “it was gas, gas bomb. Hall would be the 20th inmate in the United States and the third in Tennessee to be executed in 2019, according to the Death Penalty Information Center.
