Alabama Set for Third Nitrogen Gas Execution Amid Controversy

Alabama is set to execute Carey Dale Grayson using nitrogen gas, a controversial method criticized for causing visible distress in previous executions. This will be the state's third execution using nitrogen, despite international condemnation and concerns from human rights groups. Grayson was convicted for a 1994 murder, and his lawyers argue that the method causes "conscious suffocation," violating state and constitutional laws. The US Supreme Court has denied a stay of execution.
