The office of Alabama’s attorney general has reached a settlement in a federal lawsuit filed by death row inmate Alan Miller regarding the state’s plan to execute him using nitrogen gas. The terms of the settlement are confidential, and the lawsuit has been dismissed with prejudice, preventing it from being brought again.
Miller's execution is scheduled to take place between September 26 and 27. He had challenged the state’s nitrogen hypoxia protocol, arguing that it could lead to undue suffering, violating his Eighth Amendment protections against cruel and unusual punishment.
