A convicted murderer who survived a botched lethal injection is now set to be executed by nitrogen hypoxia in Alabama.
Alabama has scheduled a date for the upcoming execution of Alan Eugene Miller, a convicted murderer who, after surviving a previous execution attempt, is set to become the second inmate ever put to death using nitrogen gas in the United States. Nitrogen hypoxia is a controversial method allowed only in a handful of U.S. states that essentially aims to asphyxiate the prisoner with a gas mask devoid of oxygen.
Witnesses recalled after the fact that Miller had accused all three men of 'starting rumors' about him before shooting each one multiple times, court filings show. Descriptions of the murders in those filings are gruesome and disturbing, and the court ultimately found during Miller's trial that his crimes were especially heinous.Alabama has already attempted to execute Miller. His 2022 execution was stopped because of time concerns and trouble accessing his veins.
