An Alabama inmate would be the test subject for the “experimental” execution method of nitrogen hypoxia, his lawyers argued, as they asked judges to deny the state’s request to carry out his death sentence using the new method.

In a Friday court filing, attorneys for Kenneth Eugene Smith asked the Alabama Supreme Court to reject the state attorney general’s request to set an execution date for Smith using the proposed new execution method. Nitrogen gas is authorized as an execution method in three states but it has never been used to put an inmate to death.

Smith’s attorneys argued the state has disclosed little information about how nitrogen executions would work, releasing only a redacted copy of the proposed protocol.

    Where do you think the data from the study I provided came from? Here’s a clue: it came from real life experiences.

        Then it should be easy to prove it. I have literally provided evidence. You haven’t. Stop trying to belittle me and prove your point. Cos I’m starting to think you can’t.

          im not belittling you. im telling you. Drowning is Not Calm.

          real life supercedes your articles. as an experienced swimmer you know this to be true. drowning is not calm. you’re just being devils advocate for some weird reason.

          if you think im wrong, voice this opinion of yours to your friends, family, loved ones. see if they agree with you. i wouldn’t though, you might burn bridges with your adamant standing against reason
