Alabama officials have called off the lethal injection of a man convicted in a 1999 workplace shooting because of time concerns and trouble accessing the inmate’s veins.
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.
Although Alabama has authorized nitrogen hypoxia as an execution method, it has never executed anyone with that method and the state's prison system has not finalized procedures for using it to carry out a death sentence. When Alabama approved nitrogen hypoxia as an execution method in 2018, state law gave inmates a brief window to designate it as their execution method. Miller testified that he opted for nitrogen when the form was distributed on death row because he disliked needles.
