  • The state of Alabama is seeking to become the first state to execute an inmate using nitrogen gas, a method that 58-year-old Kenneth Smith’s attorneys argue amounts torture. Smith will be forced to inhale pure nitrogen through a mask until he suffocates. Some critics say the untested method is cruel and inhumane. Michael Copeland, an attorney and criminal justice professor who was part of a team study to see how the nitrogen method would work, joins “CUOMO” to discuss.

    the problem with this execution is not strictly speaking the method but the fact that the jury had decided to spare him 11 to 1 before the judge went before the judge and decided on the death penalty on his own! it's immoral

      I mean… In the absence of a unanimous vote, pretty sure the judge can do that. I don’t know what the specifics of this guys murder case were don’t really care I don’t like the idea of having to in any way contribute to housing the guy for the next 40 years

    Philip Nitschke, the former physician and founder of the group Exit International, created the suicide capsule machine.
    He wanted to create ‘peaceful, reliable, drug-free’ method of dying, and one that could be used in the complete control of even those who have very severe illnesses such as locked-in syndrome.
    He said: "The person will get into the capsule and lie down. It's very comfortable. They will be asked a number of questions and when they have answered, they may press the button inside the capsule activating the mechanism in their own time.”
    "The capsule is sitting on a piece of equipment that will flood the interior with nitrogen, rapidly reducing the oxygen level to 1 percent from 21 percent.
    "The person will feel a little disoriented and may feel slightly euphoric before they lose consciousness. The whole thing takes about 30 seconds.
    "Death takes place through hypoxia and hypocapnia, oxygen and carbon dioxide deprivation, respectively. There is no panic, no choking feeling."

    1 minute in, the guest states Nitrogen is an inert gas. That's not correct, Nitrogen is not an inert gas, those would be, Argon, Krypton, Helium, Xenon, Neon, and Radon.

      It is "commonly considered an inert gas" in many applications because it is very nearly inert. And in physiology it is completely inert.
