A divided U.S. Supreme Court says Alabama can proceed Thursday night with the execution of an inmate convicted in a 1999 workplace shooting

Un oficial escolta a Alan Eugene Miller, acusado de matar a tiros a tres personas, afuera de la cárcel de Pelham City en Alabama, el 5 de agosto de 1999. ATMORE, Ala. — — A divided U.S. Supreme Court said Alabama can proceed Thursday night with the execution of an inmate convicted in a 1999 workplace shooting.

Miller testified that he had turned in paperwork four years ago selecting nitrogen hypoxia as his execution method, putting it in a slot in his cell door at the Holman Correctional Facility for a prison worker to collect. Nitrogen hypoxia is a proposed execution method in which death would be caused by forcing the inmate to breathe only nitrogen, thereby depriving him or her of the oxygen needed to maintain bodily functions. It is authorized as an execution method in three states but no state has attempted to put an inmate to death by the untested method. Alabama officials told the judge they are working to finalize the protocol.

Holman Correctional Facility in Atmore, Alabama, for a triple shooting in August 1999. No surprise. The Republican majority SCOTUS is not going to rule against Jim Crow Alabama. The majority Republican Jim Crow South is presently a Republican stronghold. It has been that way ever since the Democrat-led Civil Rights Era.
