Alabama,Execution,Convicted Murderer

Alabama executes convicted murderer Kenneth Smith using nitrogen gas as a new method of capital punishment. Smith had previously survived a failed execution attempt by lethal injection. The state claims the new method is painless and humane, but witnesses reported a longer duration of the process. Asphyxiation is seen as a simpler alternative for prison systems facing difficulties with lethal injections.

ATMORE, Alabama (Reuters) - Alabama on Thursday executed convicted murderer Kenneth Smith , who held his breath in vain as officials asphyxiated him with nitrogen gas , the first use of a new method of capital punishment since lethal injections began in the U.S. four decades ago. Smith, convicted of a 1988 murder-for-hire, was a rare prisoner who had already survived one execution attempt.

In November 2022, Alabama officials aborted his execution by lethal injection after struggling for hours to insert an intravenous line's needle in his body. The state has called its new closely watched protocol "the most painless and humane method of execution known to man." It predicted Smith would lose consciousness in under a minute and die soon after, although witnesses on Thursday said it appeared to take several minutes longer. Alabama has touted asphyxiation as a simpler alternative for prison systems that struggle to find either veins or the required drugs for lethal injection
