Alabama Execution Method Banned; State’s Other Option, A Big Yellow Electric Chair

from The Most Dramatic Podcast Ever · host iHeartPodcasts

A federal judge has ruled that nitrogen gas executions are unconstitutional, now just one day before Alabama is set to execute Jeffrey Lee by that very method. Lee was convicted for the 1998 double murder of two pawn shop employees. Alabama is now barred from using nitrogen gas, so it’s unclear how or if they plan to move forward with the state’s two other options: electrocution or lethal injection. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
