Alabama Conducts Third Execution Using Nitrogen Gas
Alabama executed Carey Dale Grayson using nitrogen gas, marking the third such execution in the U.S. Grayson, convicted of a 1994 murder, was executed at the William C. Holman Correctional Facility. The method involves replacing breathable air with nitrogen, causing death by lack of oxygen. The execution sparked controversy, with the victim's daughter opposing the death penalty and highlighting Grayson's troubled past. Alabama is the only state to have used nitrogen hypoxia for executions, despite concerns about its humaneness.
