On January 10, 2024, U.S. District Judge Austin Huffaker denied Kenneth “Kenny” Smith’s challenge to Alabama’s intended use of nitrogen gas to execute him. Although Mr. Smith plans to appeal, the ruling currently authorizes Alabama to use its new, untested method of nitrogen hypoxia to execute Mr. Smith on January 25.
Mr. Smith’s case is unusual in several respects. First, he has already survived one execution attempt, which left him with post-traumatic stress disorder, according to a clinical psychologist and trauma expert who examined him. On November 17, 2022, the state tried and failed to execute Mr. Smith using lethal injection but abandoned its efforts after four hours when staff were unable to access a vein.

Well, I always wondered........that certainly explains your screen name. 😁
“I am so tired of lawyers”
Heard that. There are inmates in my state that have been on death row for 30+ years. Ridiculous on many levels.
William Shakespeare was right all along.
🚀😁👍
I was really lucky - could have easily punched my ticket on that one.
Dammit! You failed to kill Kenny!
Agree it’s like hypoxia your in a coma asleep.
I OD’d on Nitrous Oxide. Dentist forgot to turn on the O2. Not funny, but not a bad way to go. It was weird to speak, and then hear the words come out of my mouth a brief time later.
I wonder if they plan on cremating him.
Will be interesting to see if he wakes up in the middle of that part of the process.
Can’t burn w/o oxygen.
Why not hydrogen gas an then light a match.

I had something similar happen, except the ration was 90/10 Nitrous to O2. It was trippy until I realized what was going on and said something.
And he did it for hire. For 1000 bucks...

It’s been scrubbed from youtube in English, but here is your comedy in Hebrew. An Israeli TV comedy show did an “execution of Eichmann” sketch.
It basically pokes fun at Jews for having no experience in executing people and having no clue how to hang someone.
And the very end, the guys finally agree that Eichmann was a “true professional at executions”.
The show was called “here come the Jews”.
It used to be watchable here when the internet was still free.
Another GREAT sketch...
Well, if at first you don’t succeed.....🤷
Countless people have died that way, without feeling or knowing it. Just flood his cell during the night before the scheduled execution date. No fuss, no muss.
