Alabama prisoner set for execution using controversial nitrogen gas method

independent.co.uk — November 21, 2024 at 11:01 AM UTC

A prisoner in Alabama is set to be executed using nitrogen gas, a new method that has drawn criticism. This will be the third execution by this method, which replaces breathable air with pure nitrogen, causing death by suffocation. Critics point to the first two executions, where the individuals reportedly shook for several minutes. Concerns have been raised about the method's effectiveness and the experience of those executed. Carey Dale Grayson, convicted of a 1994 murder, is scheduled for execution on Thursday. His attorneys have requested a stay, arguing that the method may cause suffering, but state officials maintain it has been effective in previous cases.
