The US Supreme Court has denied a request to halt the execution of a convicted murderer by nitrogen gas.....
Kenneth E Smith was convicted of killing the wife of a pastor. He was convicted three years ago and has been on death row since.
The convicted killer, 58, had a gas mask placed over his nose and mouth before a stream of 100 percent nitrogen gas suffocated him, which was left on for 15 minutes to ensure he was dead.
Alabama, unless blocked by the U.S. Supreme Court, will attempt to put an inmate to death with nitrogen gas on Thursday night, a never before used execution method that the state claims will be humane but critics call cruel and experimental.
