An Alabama inmate was put to death Thursday with nitrogen gas for the murders of three co-workers in two workplace shootings in the 90s.
An Alabama man convicted of killing three people in separate workplace shootings was put to death Thursday using nitrogen gas, the second time the method has been used in the country.
Alan Eugene Miller, 59, was pronounced dead at 6:38 p.m. local time at a south Alabama prison. He shook and trembled on the gurney for about two minutes with his body at times pulling against the restraints. What followed was about six minutes of periodic gasping breaths.
« I didn’t do anything to be in here », Miller said in his final words.
Miller was convicted of killing three men — Lee Holdbrooks, Christopher Scott Yancy and Terry Jarvis, who he believed were gossiping about him.
The state tried to execute him by lethal injection in 2022.
