The Supreme Court has rejected Kenneth Eugene Smith's Hail Mary request for a stay in execution, meaning he is set to become the first person in history to be put to death with nitrogen gas.
Smith was scheduled be executed at 6pm tonight at the William C. Holman Correctional Facility in Atmore, Alabama, although his death warrant extends to 6am.
The Supreme Court voted 6-3 to allow the execution to proceed, with the three Democrat-appointed Justices, Sonia Sotomayor, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and Elana Kagan dissented the opinion of their conservative colleagues.
Smith had begged for it to be called off, citing his fears that the experimental gassing method will cause excruciating pain or cause him to vomit. Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall insisted that the controversial method would be 'painless' for Smith.
As Smith now heads for the execution chamber, his prison pastor John Ewell told DailyMail.com that he is 'really struggling' to come to terms with his fate.

Waffle House as last meal. LOL
I started a thread about this in chat but mods said no thanks. Glad there is something here.
The husband paid $1,000 to the hit team so that he could cash her life insurance policy.
This could make for a great Waffle House commercial. "Ken Smith had one meal left in this world. He could have chosen from hundreds of menus but he choose Waffle House steak and eggs. Make it your choice too. And not for the last time."
That’s how we did the high velocity chickens. Head down in a bucket with a nitrogen line going. They’d go out quiet and peaceful.
Who could have an appetite under those circumstances?
“This guy beat and stabbed to death a lady. Her husband couldn’t take it and committed suicide.”
That’s not exactly accurate.
“In 1988, Smith was convicted of murdering Elizabeth Dorlene Sennett in a murder-for-hire plot in Colbert County, Alabama.
Sennett was the wife of Church of Christ pastor Charles Sennett, who allegedly paid Smith and another man $1,000 to kill his spouse.”
The husband committed suicide instead of being prosecuted.
“Meanwhile, Charles Sennett killed himself as law enforcement began suspecting him of ordering the hit on his wife.”
Two Conservatives. Three Moderates. One Liberal Republican (John Roberts).
Enjoy your nitro gas
That sounds pretty good. I haven’t had raisin toast in forever. Gonna put that on my grocery list!
I find it ironic how stone cold killers on death row spend decades and untold amounts of taxpayers money fighting tooth and nail to stay alive.
the meal people are dying to try
Atmore is about an hour’s drive from here.................
Shoulda gave him Nitrous Oxide so he could die laughing................

Nitrogen Gas? You mean the stuff we breathe every day ?
I think it’s more a case of lack of any oxygen with the nitrogen , rather than nitrogen being ‘toxic’.
At car dealerships, for $ 99.95 they’ll put a mixture of mostly nitrogen in your tires.
Or you can go to Quik Trip and fill them with the same mixture for free.
Pecan waffle.
Or maybe the jalapeno biscuits?
she was a cutie...

Dinner to die for
Maxwell’s Silver Hammer to make sure..
