The uncompleted execution of Kenneth Eugene Smith was Alabama's second such instance of being unable to kill an inmate in the past two months and its third since 2018.

This undated photo from the Alabama Department of Corrections shows inmate Doyle Lee Hamm. Alabama's string of troubled lethal injections, which worsened late Thursday, Nov. 17, 2022, as prison workers aborted another execution because of a problem with intravenous lines, is unprecedented nationally, a group that tracks capital punishment said Friday, Nov. 18.

According to Ngozi Ndulue, deputy director of the Washington-based group, the only other lethal injection stopped before an inmate died also was in Ohio, in 2009. “We have no concerns about the state’s ability to carry out future lethal injection procedures,” the Alabama Department of Corrections wrote in an emailed statement.

Smith, who was scheduled to be put to death for the murder-for-hire slaying of a preacher’s wife in 1988, was returned to death row at Holman Prison after surviving the attempt, a prison official said. His lawyers declined to comment Friday morning.
