"Alabama's Controversial Use of Nitrogen Gas for Executions Sparks Debate"

TL;DR Summary
Alabama seeks to carry out its second execution using nitrogen gas, requesting an execution date for Alan Eugene Miller, who was convicted of killing three people in 1999. This move comes after the state's first execution using nitrogen gas was met with controversy, with advocates claiming it was a botched "human experiment." Miller, who survived a previous lethal injection attempt, struck an agreement with the state that any future execution attempts would be done with nitrogen gas. Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall maintains that nitrogen gas is a proven method of execution, despite the legal battle and differing accounts of the first execution.
