Alabama inmate asks court to block nitrogen gas execution

  • Attorneys for an Alabama inmate requested a federal judge to block his execution scheduled for February 6, citing suffering in previous nitrogen gas executions as a concern.
  • Demetrius Terrence Frazier, 52, was convicted of the 1991 murder and rape of Pauline Brown and chose nitrogen gas as his execution method.
  • The court filing stated that the nitrogen hypoxia method causes conscious suffocation, violating the Eighth Amendment, according to Frazier's lawyers.
  • A hearing on the request for a preliminary injunction has been set for July 28 by U.S. District Judge Emily C. Marks.
