💨 Abstract

A death row inmate, Jessie Hoffman Jr, is scheduled to be executed in Louisiana using nitrogen gas, a method banned for euthanizing pets. Hoffman, 46, was convicted of raping and murdering a 28-year-old accounting executive in 1996. His lawyers argue that the method violates the US Constitution's Eighth Amendment and infringes on his religious freedom.
