## Resource

The Supreme Court has halted Alabama’s plan to execute Jeffery Lee using nitrogen gas — a method deemed potentially cruel and unusual — after lower courts and federal judges raised serious concerns. Despite dissenting justices wanting to let the execution proceed, the Court’s brief, unsigned order blocks the method for now. Alabama has already used nitrogen gas on seven inmates this year and still has options to execute Lee via other means. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
