Alabama carries out nation's 3rd nitrogen gas execution
Briefly

Carey Dale Grayson, 50, was executed using nitrogen gas, a controversial method initiated in Alabama earlier this year that replaces breathable air with pure nitrogen gas.
Alabama Corrections Commissioner John Q. Hamm stated that the nitrogen flowed for 15 minutes, with Grayson showing no heartbeat approximately 10 minutes after the gas began.
The victim's daughter expressed her belief that her mother's future had been stolen, while also condemning Grayson's execution as 'murdering inmates under the guise of justice.'
Grayson's execution included obscene gestures and cursing at officials, making the scene starkly emotional, highlighting the complexities surrounding capital punishment.
