In Alabama, preparations are being made to carry out the sentence by inhaling nitrogen gas to a death row convict. The first case of using nitrogen gas for execution of death sentence in the state had come to light only a month ago and there was a lot of criticism for giving death penalty through this process. Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall’s office on Wednesday requested the Alabama Supreme Court to set a sentencing date for convicted murderer Allen Eugene Miller.
Miller will be executed by nitrogen hypoxia
The Attorney General’s Office said Miller would face the death penalty. nitrogen hypoxia Will be given through. Miller, 59, was convicted of murdering three people in Birmingham in 1999. The request to fix a date for the punishment is being made at a time when different opinions are being expressed in the state regarding giving death penalty in this manner. In fact, on January 25, for the first time, Kenneth Smith was given death sentence through nitrogen gas and the people present there said that Smith kept getting shocks for several minutes and he was writhing.
It’s more sore and painful
Attorney General Steve Marshall’s office said the method was appropriate and said the state would use nitrogen gas in future executions. The day after Smith was sentenced, he urged other states to consider this approach. But in the suit filed by another death row convict, a request has been made to stop the use of nitrogen gas. It said that the people present at the spot said that it was like an “experiment conducted on humans” and could not be considered successful. The petition said, the results of the first human experiment have now come and they show that nitrogen gas neither causes suffocation quickly nor is the process painless, but it is more painful and painful.
