I’ve always been against the death penalty, but this experiment with nitrogen in Alabama is particularly twisted. Also, this is just wrong:
"Mr. Smith’s case is unique in part because the jury that convicted him of murder also voted 11 to 1 to sentence him to life in prison, rather than death, but the judge overruled their decision."
