Another death row inmate may be executed using a controversial method involving nitrogen gas, which has been described as torturous.

Alan Eugene Miller has been on death row for over two decades. His fate has been uncertain since his conviction in 2000 for the murder of three men. But now, it seems that his time may be running out. In the wake of Kenneth Smith's controversial execution using nitrogen gas, Miller may soon face the same fate.

The Alabama Attorney General has wasted no time in requesting the state's Supreme Court to authorize a second execution by nitrogen hypoxia. This method, which has been described by experts as "an unambiguous definition of cruelty," has sparked much debate and controversy. Yet, despite the concerns raised, the state is determined to move forward with this untested method.

The first and only person to have been executed by nitrogen gas was Kenneth Eugene Smith, who died on January 25. According to witnesses, his death was far from peaceful. In fact, some have described it as "horrific." Smith convulsed in his chair and struggled against his restraints for a full 22 minutes before losing consciousness. This outcome was starkly different from what authorities had initially claimed, causing even more doubt and concern surrounding the use of this method.

But despite the criticism and the agonizing death of Smith, the Alabama Department of Corrections insists that everything went according to plan. This assurance, however, has not stopped the state's Attorney General, Steve Marshall, from vowing to continue using nitrogen gas for executions. In fact, he has filed a motion to allow the execution of Alan Eugene Miller, who has been on death row since 2000 for the murder of three men in a workplace shooting rampage.

Miller's future now hangs in the balance as the state's Supreme Court considers the motion. If it is approved, he will become the second person in the US to be executed by nitrogen gas. And as the debate rages on about the ethics of this method, Miller and his loved ones are left to wonder if this will truly be a humane and just end to his life.
