"Alabama Pursues Second Nitrogen Gas Execution Amid Opposition"

Alabama seeks approval from the state's Supreme Court to carry out death row inmate Alan Eugene Miller's execution using nitrogen hypoxia, a method that was recently used for the first time in the state. Miller's previous lethal injection execution attempt was called off due to technical difficulties, and he subsequently filed a federal lawsuit against death by lethal injection. The state's highest court ruled that Miller's execution could only take place using nitrogen hypoxia, a decision the Alabama Department of Corrections eventually accepted. Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall has filed a request for Miller's execution, stating that it is the appropriate time to carry out his sentence.
