Michael Smith has been executed by the state of Oklahoma. Time of death, 10:20 a.m.
#21stCenturyProsecutors know that the use of capital punishment is fundamentally unjust, inhumane, and rife with racial inequities. Read the statement from 56 elected prosecutors who called for an end to the death penalty in 2022: fairandjustprosecution.org/wp-content/upl…
“If we are doing things in the name of public safety that are failed, that don’t work, and that aren’t morally sound, then we’ve lost the trust of our community, and we’ve lost our moral compass.” -@miriamkrinsky

Executive Director of the @DPInfoCtr @Robinmaher discussed a recent execution in Alabama, which used nitrogen gas for the first time, and the overall state of the death penalty in the United States: c-span.org/classroom/docu…. #SSChat #EdChat #GovChat #APGov
On Friday, we hosted a panel with @DPInfoCtr on “Human rights and the US death penalty”. It’s the beginning of a series of webinars on the topic, sponsored by the German Foreign Office.
Thank you to @GermanyinUSA for hosting the launch event of DPIC's webinar project on Human Rights and the U.S. Death Penalty yesterday with a live event at the Washington embassy. We recorded the livestream of the event and will post it on the @DPInfoCtr website.
I am hearing a fair amount of cars are leaving the prison now, after extended period of little movement. We may be getting word of something soon.
It’s been an hour and twenty minutes since the witnesses were driven to the death chamber. No word since. This hasn’t been done before so no human precedent. But vets say Nitrogen gas is supposed to take about 7 minutes to kill dogs, rabbits and mink.
Supreme Court just denied the last stay, the media witnesses were just taken to the execution chamber in a van. Execution likely happening in minutes.
I’m with Kenneth Smith’s family, headed into Holman where his execution, the first attempted nitrogen suffocation in the nation’s history, is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m.
6:56PM: Media witnesses now loading the van for Holman prison #KennethSmith #NitrogenHypoxia #WBRC
6:30PM: We’re in the media center near Holman prison covering the first ever nitrogen hypoxia execution in Alabama. Death row inmate Kenneth Smith is waiting on SCOTUS to decide on another stay request. There’s a lot of national and international attention on the case #WBRC
