We need to talk about the unspeakable, staggering news that the Supreme Court allowed the first American execution using nitrogen gas to move forward in Alabama on Thursday.
It's worth noting two damning points here. First, the defendant in this case, Kenneth Eugene Smith, was convicted of murder in Alabama. However, the jury voted 11-1 to spare his life, rejecting a capital sentence. Second, Alabama tried and failed to execute him already back in 2022.
