Alabama plans a third nitrogen gas execution for Carey Dale Grayson, convicted of a 1994 murder.

Alabama is pursuing a third nitrogen gas execution, seeking to set a date for Carey Dale Grayson, who was found guilty of a 1994 murder. This comes after the state became the first to use nitrogen gas for capital punishment in the execution of Kenneth Smith in January. Alabama's primary execution method is lethal injection, but inmates can also request to be executed by nitrogen gas or the electric chair.
