Alabama set to execute inmate with nitrogen gas, a never before used method
- Alabama plans to use nitrogen gas as a method of execution, which has never been attempted before, despite concerns about its humaneness and constitutionality.
- The inmate, Smith, and his legal team have raised concerns about the use of a mask, the risk of suffocation, and the lack of research on the method. The United Nations and the American Veterinary Medical Association have also criticized the execution method.
- Smith's execution will be the first time nitrogen hypoxia is used anywhere in the world, making him the test subject for the untested method.
