Nitrogen Gas Execution

A man convicted of killing three people in workplace shootings has been executed with nitrogen gas in Alabama. It was the second time the state has carried out an execution with nitrogen gas. Alan Miller was pronounced dead at 6:38 p.m. local time Thursday.

Alabama is preparing to carry out the nation’s second nitrogen gas execution. Alan Eugene Miller is scheduled to be executed Thursday with nitrogen gas at a south Alabama prison.

The State of Alabama is just hours away from the planned execution of Alan Miller. He was convicted in the 1999 murders of three co-workers. And, this isn’t the only high profile execution in the U.S. Back in 1989, I was assigned to cover the electrocution of serial killer Ted Bundy. Here’s a look back at that story.

The State of Alabama is set to carry out the nation’s second execution by nitrogen hypoxia tonight. Alan Miller is scheduled to die for the 1999 murders of two co-workers and his supervisor. Alabama conducted the first ever nitrogen gas execution back in January

Alabama is set to carry out the nation’s second execution ever using nitrogen gas after becoming the first state to use the new procedure in January. Alan Miller is set to die by the process on Thursday, Sept. 26, in which a mask is placed over the inmate’s head that forces the inmate to inhale pure nitrogen.

Death row inmates in five separate states are set to be put to death in the span of one week. If carried out as planned, the executions in Alabama, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Texas will mark the first time in more than 20 years that five executions were held in seven days.

The state of Alabama is asking a judge to deny defense lawyers’ request to film the next execution by nitrogen gas in an attempt to help courts evaluate whether the new method is humane. The request to record the scheduled Sept. 26 execution of Alan Miller was filed by attorneys for another man facing the death penalty, Carey Dale Grayson.

Lawyers for an Alabama inmate, scheduled to be executed with nitrogen gas this fall, argued in a court filing that the state has ignored problems with the method as it seeks to carry out more nitrogen executions.

Alabama's governor has set a November 21st execution date for what is scheduled to be the nation's third death sentence carried out by nitrogen gas. Republican Kay Ivey set the execution date for Carey Dale Grayson after the Alabama Supreme Court last week ruled that it could take place. Grayson was one of four teenagers convicted in the 1994 killing of 37-year-old Vickie Deblieux in Jefferson County.

A third person is set to be executed by nitrogen gas, Alabama authorized Wednesday, months after becoming the first state to put a person to death with the previously untested method.
