Alabama schedules fourth nitrogen gas execution amid debate over method

  • Alabama Governor Kay Ivey has scheduled an execution date for Demetrius Terrence Frazier on February 6, 2025, marking the state's first execution of the year.
  • Frazier was convicted of killing Pauline Brown during a burglary in 1991 and confessed to the crime while in police custody in Detroit.
  • The state plans to use nitrogen hypoxia for the execution, a method that has faced criticism and legal challenges due to concerns over its effectiveness and potential cruelty.
  • Frazier's attorneys have filed a federal lawsuit to block the execution, arguing that nitrogen gas causes conscious suffocation and violates the Eighth Amendment.
