Nitrogen update: Judge Marks' permanent injunction against nitrogen asphyxiation as a method of execution stands for now. SCOTUS denies a stay of injunction. Mr. Jeffery Lee is alive and will not be executed tonight. The case may proceed to appeal at the Eleventh Circuit, if the state pursues this.

Nitrogen gas asphyxiation as a method of execution was just held UNCONSTITUTIONAL by the federal court in Montgomery, Alabama, relying on the Eleventh Circuit. This is unprecedented and remarkable and right!!

Nitrogen update: Judge Marks in Montgomery denies the State of Alabama’s application to stay her permanent injunction against nitrogen gas while the state appeals. The equities are clearly against the state.
Nitrogen gas update: the Eleventh Circuit in Atlanta has affirmed that nitrogen gas asphyxiation is an unconstitutional method of execution, by a vote of two to one, and denied any stay of the permanent injunction. So nitrogen gas is unconstitutional as per the Eleventh Circuit panel.
