Kenneth Smith ‘struggled for life’ for 22 minutes in Alabama nitrogen gas execution: Updates - eviltoast

“Kenny just began to gasp for air repeatedly and the execution took about 25 minutes total.”

Pretty compassionate way to kill a person.

Once again, the Law in the south is brutal.

      Why bother? People are being put to death in the real world where competent people are not involved in executions.

        Well you said you didn’t want to pick an execution method because they all needed medical doctors, so I proposed a situation that doesn’t require one except to declare death. But good point, we’ll only pick up this discussion after you break in and rip the mask off the next execution victim.
