Convicted murderer to be executed in Alabama using nitrogen gas

Raw Story  

A serial rapist and murderer is to be put to death by nitrogen gas in Alabama on Thursday, the fourth use of the controversial execution method in the southern US state. Michigan does not have the death penalty and Frazier was serving a life sentence there for Kendrick's murder and for two separate rape convictions. Alabama carried out three executions by nitrogen asphyxiation last year and is the only US state currently using the method. United Nations experts appointed by the UN Human Rights Council have denounced the use of nitrogen gas, saying it "may amount to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, or even torture."
