Oklahoma plans to start carrying out executions with nitrogen gas, a method that has never been used in the U.S. but that some states have already approved amid difficulties with lethal injections.
At a news conference Wednesday, Oklahoma Atty. Gen. Mike Hunter and Corrections Director Joe M. Allbaugh said that over the next few months the state would develop a protocol for using nitrogen.
[...] In recent years, Oklahoma and other states have struggled to obtain the drugs needed for lethal injections, the most common execution method but one that has increasingly faced scrutiny.
In 2015, a state court put a moratorium on executions in Oklahoma after a series of botched executions, including one in which an inmate convulsed for 43 minutes before dying and another in which the wrong drug was administered.
Oklahoma is poised to become the first state to use nitrogen gas in executions

1. They weren't innocent, they just didn't put their dick in the victim. They WERE part of a wild gang of around thirty who were running amok and harmed many other people. The testimony of the asshole who said he did it alone was oh so convenient to the prog narrative since he was already doing a life sentence.
2. Because the DNA didn't match none of them were even sentenced to life and certainly none received a death sentence. Meaning the case isn't even something you should have brought up here.
3. Just because the Communist, anti-crime control mayor handed the perps a huge sack of cash and the key to the city does not mean they aren't criminal scum.

Yes they were. Perhaps you are confusing their skin color for their guilt?
Actually, a certain individual, who is now President of the United States, called for them to be put to death.
Hmm ... see the last sentence of #1.
