"Attorneys representing Kenneth Eugene Smith, an inmate on Alabama’s death row who is set to become the first person to be executed by nitrogen hypoxia this week, have requested that the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) consider whether Smith’s execution would violate the Constitution since this is the state’s second attempt at carrying out the death penalty and because the first one had “gone wrong” for reasons that the state “should have known about.”
For one member it won't matter because usually one member of the squad shoots a blank cartridge with a wax bullet. That's done for "diffusion of responsibility". But if they all missed making a fatal hit the squad leader administers a coup de grace shot to the head with a handgun.
Use CO2. All the hens tell us that CO2 is going to kill us. Might as well give it a test.
Gives you a terrible headache, no euphoria and a horrible sensation of suffocating. Plus, it causes climate change (allegedly) kek.
Tell'em I've heard methane is a killer!
Why not carbon monoxide? Odorless, colorless, and completely lethal. You just fall asleep and never wake up.

They tried for lethal injection, but couldn’t get an IV. I wonder if they tried intraosseous?

Hmm, if every member of a firing squad misses, does the official say, "OK you're free to go" or "RELOAD!"
