Alabama execution was torture February 9, 2024
Andy Harris, Washington PSR | The Oregonian

The death penalty is arbitrarily imposed since race, geography and the quality of counsel disproportionately determine who is sentenced to death. Twenty-three states have abolished the death penalty, but in January, Alabama executed Kenneth Smith by an untried method involving nitrogen gas.
