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.

        strange. no one shared that line of thought when i was in the navy. we all understood drowning to be very violent. you clearly know better with articles vs experience. i yield. live your life thinking drowning is calm…dude. lol

          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’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

                  Don’t waste your time trying to patronise me, use that time to find evidence to support your claim. And maybe pick up a book, you’re syntax is extremely hard to parse.

                    It’s hard to parse because you lack the necessary comprehension skills to understand. Drowning Is Not Calm…Life needs no proof beyond itself. your child-like naivety will vanish when you witness a drowning personally.

                    but hey, keep shouting “show me proof”…i mean, if you want we can set up an experiment. Ill stick your head in a bucket of water. if you fight for your life. its not calm. if you just sit there and pass quietly. you were right…think about that. for a second. Hold your breath till you pass out. cant do it can you? Survival kicks in Fighting for your Life kicks in. the Calm you so ardently defend is your brains last dopamine hit to lull you some mercy. its not calm

                    you are a child who has not witnessed drowning if you believe its calm
