On Jan. 25, Alabama marked the first known use of nitrogen hypoxia to execute Kenneth Eugene Smith. This new method comes years after pharmaceutical companies refused to sell certain drug cocktails to death penalty states for use in executions. The change sent authorities searching for new ways to carry out capital punishment, and Alabama’s deadly decision recalls a horrific national legacy that inspired Nazi Germany. Furthermore, it reveals how carceral structures implement policy that test and force abuses onto subjugated populations before inflicting them onto broader society. Alabama’s nitrogen gas execution may seem like a mere adjustment in how the state kills prisoners, but it’s highlighting a threat to us all. As the U.S. becomes even more draconian in its execution practices, it’s necessary to observe some of the history of gassing, ask what it’s setting the stage for, and demand the abolition of the death penalty altogether.

Robespierre & the Death Penalty

"I come to ask, not the gods, but legislators…to erase from the code of the French the blood laws that command judicial murders" (Robespierre, 6). These impassioned words, spoken by Maximilien Robespierre before France's National Constituent Assembly on 22 June 1791, urged the abolition of the death penalty, which Robespierre referred to as barbaric, pointless, and an antithesis to justice.

Justice Is Served... 'Extra Crispy'

'Evening, folks. We have a very dark chapter of New York City's WWII-era History to share with you tonight.

80 Years Ago Today - (Saturday) March 4th, 1944:

(From left to right, going clock wise) Seen here, in Photo 1, in their mug shots, are Mafia members Louis Capone, Emanuel "Mendy" Weiss (top right), and Louis "Lepke" Buchalter (bottom right) But, these aren’t just ANY mobsters. These creeps are members of "Murder, Inc," the contract killers who worked for the Italian and Jewish mobs, primarily in New York. Buchalter, in fact, was its first President. All three of them are nothing but cold-blooded killers.

Buchalter, in fact, had a hand in The Hit on Dutch Schultz in Jersey City, NJ in October, 1935.

Each man has a bone-chilling record that is too numerous to list here. After years of crime and a body count to match, all three were ultimately caught, convicted, and given the death sentence in New York City on December 2nd 1941 - five days before Pearl Harbor. Capone and Weiss were sent 'Up The River' to Sing Sing Correctional Facility on the Hudson River while Buchalter ended up back at Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary in Kansas on a previous racketeering charge. The State of New York wanted him back - BAD. Following the loss of a long string of appeals, he was extradited to New York on January 21st, 1944.

All three got a seat in "Old Sparky," the Electric Chair at Sing Sing on Saturday, March 4th, 1944 around 11:00 pm, EST - hence while we waited until now to do our post.

Capone, who had been sentenced last among the three, was slated to go first. Ironically, he had a heart condition, and the State was worried he would have a heart attack and "cheat the hangman." Weiss went second, and Buchalter, sentenced first, and being known as a "tough guy," was intentionally made to go last - forced to watch his two henchmen go before him.

Regular... Or Extra Crispy?

Macabre as this you might think this to be, they earned it, and they got what was coming to them. This story plays a unique part of the WWII timeline within America's 1940s Home Front culture as the Mobs were being consistently hunted down and dismantled by the FBI. The glory days of the Depression and the "Public Enemies" in the 1930s were long over, and the Federal Government had little patience or mercy for thugs like these as it had to execute and fight a War that was raging around the planet.

But... quite paradoxically, in the "Fog Of War," American Organized Crime wove itself in and out of America's War Effort - both here, and overseas - with the blessings and absolution of that very same US Government. But that's an incredible story for another day. 😉

"Horror Show": Priest On US Prisoner's Nitrogen Gas Execution

Convicted murderer Kenneth Eugene Smith became the first man in the US to be executed with nitrogen gas, a controversial method that was condemned by human right activists as well as the United Nations and White House.

The 22-minute execution that saw the 58-year-old murderer writhing and thrashing for several minutes was described as a "horror show" by his spiritual advisor Reverend Jeff Hood. The priest who was among several people who witnessed the execution said even the prison staff were unable to hide their shock over the scene.

“There was clear shock and surprise on their faces. In that circumstance it's hard to know what is what, but I know what I saw in terms of the horror on the faces of people in front of me," Hood told The New York Post, adding that he heard audible gasps from people as Smith struggled to breathe.

It looked like a scene produced for Hollywood, he said. "It's a scene that will never leave me."

The nitrogen hypoxia execution, a method described as "untested human experiment" by human rights activists, was carried out at Alabama's Holman Prison. It marked the first change from the usual method of lethal injection in the US. The method forces the prisoner to breathe nitrogen instead of oxygen through a respirator mask.

Hood claimed that while the prison authorities assured that the method would result in instant death, the actual scene of the execution could not be far from it.

“They said all along that this was going to be nearly instantaneous. They were told this is going to be quick, easy and painless. They kept saying this is the most humane way society has ever figured out how to execute people. That he would be gone, unconscious, in seconds. What we saw last night was minutes, minutes, and minutes of a horror show," he said, adding that Smith looked like a "fish out of water, flapping over and over again."

The White House on Saturday said it was "deeply troubled" by the execution. UN human rights chief Volker Turk, the EU and civil liberties groups also expressed concern about the manner of Smith's execution.

Kenneth Eugene Smith was on death row for more than three decades after being convicted of the 1988 murder-for-hire of a pastor's wife.

In "The Death of Innocents: An Eyewitness Account of Wrongful Executions," author Sister Helen Prejean talks about her first-hand experiences witnessing the execution of Dobie Gillis Williams in 1999 and Joseph Roger O'Dell in 1997, how poor people are primarily affected by wrongful executions, and why the execution of Michael Morales was postponed indefinitely in 2006 and led to a moratorium on capital punishment in California. This third discussion with the author took place on a 2006 episode of "Conversations On The Coast with Jim Foster" originating in San Francisco, California. Photo: sisterhelen.org
