Rounding up some continuing discussions a week after Alabama’s nitrogen gas execution

Unsuprisingly, conversations and debates over Alabama’s pioneering next execution method are continuing a week after that state used nitrogen gas to carry out a death sentence for a murder committed over 35 years ago.  Here is an abridged round-up of some of the recent pieces that have caught my eye:

From the AP, “Oklahoma governor says he’s not interested in changing from lethal injection to nitrogen executions“

From the Louisiana Illuminator, “Landry wants Louisiana to resume executions, fulfill ‘contractual obligations’ with victims’ families“

From the New York Times, “A Select Few Witnessed Alabama’s Nitrogen Execution. This Is What They Saw.“

From Slate, “‘It Was the Most Violent Thing I’ve Ever Seen’: Inside the chamber for Alabama’s experimental new execution technique.“

From the Statehouse News Bureau, “Opponents of nitrogen executions bill cite Ohio’s ban on gas for pet euthanasia“
