Is it true that Alabama carried out the first US execution by nitrogen hypoxia in January 2024?
Yes. Two reference works state that Alabama carried out the first American execution using nitrogen gas in January 2024, and a Skeptics Stack Exchange question confirms the January 25, 2024 nitrogen hypoxia execution of Kenneth Eugene Smith in Alabama.
