In America, a man named Kenneth Eugene Smith has been sentenced to death. And this is the first time that a person there will not be killed by injection, but by nitrogen gas. There is strong opposition to this and it is being called the most dangerous punishment – death. Some people say that this is against humanity. But why did such a situation arise? When other prisoners can be put to death by injection then why not Kenneth? The answer is such that you will not believe it.
Kenneth, a resident of Alabama, was convicted of murder in 1988. In America, usually a person on death row is put to death by injection of poison. Kenneth was also to be punished in a similar manner. An attempt was made, but then something happened that the death sentence had to be postponed. According to the BBC report, Smith was to be taken to an alleged ‘death chamber’ of the prison named ‘Holman Correctional Facility’ and injected with poisonous chemicals, but the administration failed.
I couldn’t find his vein
Later it came to light that when the doctors were trying to give him poisonous injection, his vein could not be found. Smith’s lawyers claimed that doctors gave injections at numerous places in Smith’s body. Still he did not die. As a result, Smith could not be injected due to lack of vein and his death warrant was canceled at 12 midnight on November 2022. But the sentence has to be completed, so the Alabama administration is going to give him death sentence in another way.
A mask will be tied on Smith’s face
Alabama administration has now planned that a mask will be tied on Smith’s face and he will be asked to inhale nitrous gas. Nitrogen is an inert gas, as soon as this gas goes inside their body. It will immediately destroy the oxygen present in the body. After this he will die. People are calling it cruel and are demanding to stop the punishment. Let us tell you that in China, Thailand, Vietnam they kill by giving injections. So in the Philippines, prisoners are put to death by electrocution. In many Gulf countries, there is a law against beheading, while in many places people are killed by stoning.
