Alabama prepares third nitrogen gas execution amid legal challenges over its humaneness.

Alabama is set to carry out its third execution by nitrogen gas, with Carey Dale Grayson scheduled to be executed for the 1994 murder of Vickie Deblieux. Grayson's lawyers argue the method causes unconstitutional pain, as it involves suffocating the inmate with pure nitrogen gas. The state claims the process causes rapid unconsciousness without pain, but media reports suggest inmates struggle for minutes. The 11th U.S. Court of Appeals is reviewing the case.
