Smith's legal team had urged the court to reject the execution request. They [His legal team] probably have a wife they want him to murder. Which he is good at. He could use a little more practice at not getting caught.

Replace the oxygen with helium with his face uncovered. Leave him alone in the chamber screaming for mercy in a high pitched voice. Make it a pay per view. Fun for the whole family!!

Should be a peaceful way to go.
A firing squad makes good target practice though.
And forget that “only one gun with a real bullet so they don’t know who did it” crap.

I know they use Carbon Monoxide in packaged meat.
What’s the advantage of N over CO in executions?
To: Extremely Extreme Extremist
Nitrogen doesn’t expand and contract like air does with changes in temperature which means the tire pressure doesn’t change with the temperature

It’s not like there’s any shortage of that. Give him a hotshot.

Actually it will be much more tolerable than any other way, especially if they do any kind of sedation first.

For most people it makes zero difference. The air has about 80% nitrogen in it by default.

It’s used on jet liner tires.

—” which means the tire pressure doesn’t change with the temperature”
Kind of sort of, but not exactly.
If you are using clean DRY air like used for SCUBA, nitrogen expands almost exactly the same as air for the temperature tires might be operating at ~ -30F to 240F.
No gearhead I know has a tire gauge accurate enough to see a difference.
NB: Most tire gauges are junk.

They should use Nitrous Oxide instead of straight Nitrogen. It would make for quite an entertaining evening.

That can be done with any gas. Just exclude oxygen and any gas will work. Biologically yes. BUT the body does sense concentrations of other gasses and will react. The body senses increases in Co2 and will create a stress reaction. Probably not a good choice for execution (opinions of FR aside).
The body does not sense the absence of O2 and will not react to the resulting suffocation. Inspectors of cargo ships have died almost instantly inspecting the hold of the ship carrying scrap steel. The rusting steel removed all the oxygen. Inspectors never knew what hit them.

Lethal injection was always a bad idea. Glad to see it go away.
Gas is much better.

“Is Nitrogen really good for tires?”
Tires are designed to use regular air.

I thought it was only one gun with a blank.
