▲ 751 ▼ Kenneth Smith ‘struggled for life’ for 22 minutes in Alabama nitrogen gas execution: Updates (www.independent.co.uk) submitted 2 years ago by some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org to c/news@lemmy.world 581 comments fedilink hide all child comments “Kenny just began to gasp for air repeatedly and the execution took about 25 minutes total.” Pretty compassionate way to kill a person. Once again, the Law in the south is brutal.

I hope they paid you well, sounds like you could have easily died if something went wrong.. permalink fedilink source parent
