Alabama zastavila popravu dusíkom. Podľa sudkyne ide o krutý a protiústavný trest

Alabama has temporarily halted its planned execution using nitrogen hypoxia. A federal judge expressed concerns that the method could constitute cruel and unusual punishment, potentially violating the U.S. Constitution. The state had intended to use this novel method for the first time in the United States. This pause follows legal challenges and questions surrounding the protocol's safety and constitutionality.

This case could set a significant precedent for the use of new execution methods and the interpretation of the Eighth Amendment's prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment.
