“Violently shaking, thrashing:” Witness details first ever nitrogen gas execution
#Alabama #NitrogenGas #KennethSmith
You can’t botch a firing squad.
Idaho reinstated the firing squad!
@@arlenesee392what about the other 49 states?
You also can’t botch a massive od of Fentanyl
True
Tell that to Wenceslao Moguel. 😉
You do have to wonder if the woman he stabbed to death had a similar physical response.
Yes, I'm sure he was very worried about being "humane" while he took her life.
I’m sure she was more vocal. Stabbings are brutal.
On the other hand over 195 death row inmates have been exonerated not counting the ones that doj refuses to review. God knows how many innocents have been executed.
I wonder what the murdered women's husband (the minister) was thinking when he hired the kid to rub her out.
@@jacquiestorm4342 The absolute bare minimum I could expect out of my government is that they would operate with more humanity than a convicted murderer.
Lee, could you please tell us how peaceful his victim went ?
since when do we execute people for murdering a single person. if that was the chase america would have more executions than china.
did his victim get turtured 35 years? Or did his live sentece which was a democratic vote get overuled by a dictator by a single judge?
Soooo are you one of those who has murdered and not gotten caught yet ?@@lIIlllIIIl
*He murdered a woman for money. He was sentenced to death 30 years ago.*.
*I'm sure his victim went through worse, at least he knew why he was dying.*
Don't we all?
I wonder if his victim was uncomfortable, upon her death , 36 years ago.
Now that is an uncomfortable truth no one ever thinks about. It's just about the convict and his rights.
I think most people do think about the victim but the news doesn't want to talk about that straight on. The problem is that now this is going to be used by murderers. It's unusual and there is a reason not to use new means of punishment.
36 years ago, that's right. And although he committed a terrible crime, I wonder why 36 years in the solitary confinement of the death row plus a life sentence after that (instead of execution) would not be punishment enough. I think the US has some very inhuman laws which i find very unusual for a free world country.
@@theo9952 let me give a prime example. South Africa had one of the lowest murder rates until 1994. Abolished the death penalty, our murder rate is one of the highest in the world, it's worse than in some war zones. 27 000 murders over the period April 22 to March 23.
@@reinhardtrossouw1879 This about the apartheid regime in South Africa :
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission found that there were 21,000 deaths from political violence, with 7,000 deaths between 1948 and 1989, and 14,000 deaths and 22,000 injuries in the transition period between 1990 and 1994.
Enough said, I think.
Having worked in corrections, the worst punishment is a lifetime in prison.
Yes he done 36 yrs then was ended thats penitence
Yeah, then we keep building bigger prisons, add more guards and manpower, and we use tax payer money to keep them alive, right? Makes sense to me. 🙄
Unless of course, the prison is a luxury apartment and you are able to get ferried around town at will!
They still don’t want to die they have the nerve but didn’t care about their victims and someone mom was killed because a man got over zealous thinking he could get another woman and insurance and live peacefully knowing he had some part in another humans untimely suffering and then he kills himself? I don’t care about this guy if a person could choose how she died to how he died they would choose how he died
Why does the media want us to feel bad for him
Because we’re supposed to be more humane than the Taliban, and we have laws against cruel and unusual punishment. But some right wingers want us to become another Taliban ruled country.
Because that’s the typical liberal media line. The criminals have more rights than the victims. I mean look at the other reply to your comment. If you seek justice against a murderer, that somehow makes you “the taliban” This dude signed his own death warrant when he committed the crime.
Really, why?
@@beaterstang0898the justice system sentenced him with death, not torture.
The MSM backs the murdering of unborn babies.... but not the execution of a murderer. STRANGE
Shame on the media for sympathizing with a killer. Shame on you.
Seriously
it's 30 years over due
“ I’ve never seen such a violent execution “……….try looking at some crime scene photos
You want the govt to be as merciless as murderers. Better hope you never accidentally get involved in something
I'm sure the man that's been to 5 actual executions has seen crime scene photos. He's talking about actually witnessed the death
@@woodstream6137sure thing, accidentally involved
He's witnessed 5 executions, you've just looked at photos. Sit down and shut up.
@@woodstream6137 His statement doesn't have any feelings one way or the other about the murder though, nor is it edited. He is simply comparing what someone said to his own experiences of seeing photos from crime scenes. With no opinion about the process or method or anything else being offered, I'm not sure where your statement is coming from that implies that he wants what you say you believe he does want to be true. Am I missing something?
Sorry not sorry....the victim didn't get that consideration
RIP Elizabeth Sennett 🪦
Murdered 1988
Bad things happen to bad people!
bad things happen to everyone
Uhh, no.
bad people do bad things to bad people too.
but the state should be civil about it not barbaric
@@morbidmanmusicgood
What did his victim experience when he killed them?
Cannot both deaths be tragic? Or are you so self righteous that you’ve deluded yourself into thinking you have unflawed judgement?
MSNPC cares more about the criminals
MSNPC, like most $hitLibs, only care about the criminal.
She didn't spend 28 years incarcerated, being told she was going to be killed. He didn't make two separate attempts on her life.
I'm not condoning what he did, it was vile but, frankly, what the state did to him was a great deal worse.
@@resourcedragon🤣
…and his victim probably went through far worse, so what’s the problem here?
That’s what I’ve been thinking. Why are worried arhat someone sentenced to death for the crimes committed are treating humanely and goes peacefully?
Well, when do two wrongs make a right?
Last night@@PhilAndersonOutside
@@PhilAndersonOutside you are incorrectly assuming that the DP for people like this guy is wrong.
@@MyHandelsMessiah Nope, he is correctly assuming that. After 36 years of prison, this has no meaning for anybody. It's just morbide cruelty.
Elizabeth Sennett sorry you had to wait so long for justice. May you rest in peace.
This isn't justice, this was torture. In Australia Smith would probably have been released from custody by now, unless there were exceptional circumstances that suggested that he was an ongoing threat to the community. That is true in a lot of countries.
Smith's death will not bring Sennett back from the dead, it won't comfort her children (who seem to be glossing over the fact it was Daddy that hired a killer to deal with Mummy).
@@resourcedragon By the way, Smiths death at the hands of Sennet with a concealed firearm absolutely would have brought her back, except in chinese occupied australia where self defense is a crime and only the criminals are armed. food for thought, prison colonist.

Cruelty is cruelty.
I wonder how the 3 innocent people he murdered/shot to death, died? Do you think their death was merciful? Keep things in perspective 🙄
The goal is to insure we do not become the monsters we are putting down.
@@brianwilliams766 you wanna pay taxes to feed somebody who killed your mother?
If the perspective is that the state committed an act of cruelty on some level similar to a convicted murderer, I would just argue this line of reasoning is not the moral slam dunk you seem to think it is.

May his victim rest in peace.
Too easy. What did the lady he murdered go through?
Not relevant; you want the government to sink to the same level as a killer?
Yeah what about their victims
Imagine trying to convince people to feel bad for the murderer.
What is there to imagine, it happens every day now.
No!!
That is today's media. Corrupt and immoral to their rotten core.
I dont think they are doing that... If they want to torture ppl to death ok cool but admit that and stop trying to gaslight folks
Imagine, this is still a human being!
I feel certain that the victim was petrified and begging for her life and he had no sympathy for her . I feel no sympathy for him whatsoever !

It's quite macabre. This whole report gave me a bad taste in the mouth and leaving me feeling sick.
I'm opposed to the death penalty but, maybe don't commit murder? Especially in a state like Alabama?
That women he killed didnt get mercy nor did he care what she went through. Who cares how the prisoner was executed

@jimporter3347 indeed. The pathological altruism
he stabbed a woman to death. Where were his thoughts of humanity going through his mind as he was taking her life?
So what you're saying is that you think what he did was okay?
does that make it right for us to become the animals? Is that what u want? I promise that is a NO
@@hrodebertcoad9848 not at all. But if you look and see another person asked pretty much the same question. My response to you is the same to him. I’m just not a fan of death.

@@hrodebertcoad9848 can you read?
Wonder if it was anywhere as terrifying as the victim endured?
Ummm tbh not to downplay what he did - after serving his sentence and torture of a botched execution - I think there’s way worse crimes (torture, murder and child murderers) - that have got away with cushy sentences. Way way worse than this
Doubtful
Of course MSNPC cares more about the murderers than the victims.
You are claiming that you have the right to do whatever you please as long as you believe it to be justified? Wonder if that is any different than the thought process of the person being executed.
Elizabeth Sennett
Hmmmm, did the people he murdered drift off into a sweet sleep, or did they thrash, fight during their terrifying murders? Whatever this guy went through, it pales in comparison to what his victim experienced.
I don’t feel badly for this guy, not one iota.
that is a dangerous perspective to have for all sorts of reasons.
That's the problem with a lot of Americans. They think the Constitution doesn't apply to them.
The morbid man talks of dangerous perspectives in reference to a murderer suffering near the level of his victims. You cant make this stuff up. @@morbidmanmusic
@@morbidmanmusic why is that dangerous?
@@ILJzzFan Because we're supposed to be more civilized than our Babylonian predecessors 3800 years ago who came up with "an eye for an eye." Inhumanity doesn't give permission for more inhumanity. With that barbaric perspective, bombing the spouses and children of US drone operators who bombed civilians in Iraq would be justified. Demanding the genocide of 6 million Germans following the Holocaust would be considered reciprocal justice. Breaking the bones of someone who injured who broke yours in a car accident could be a court-ordered punishment. Justice serves a higher purpose than vengeance and it's disgusting that people think otherwise.
Why does this guy attend executions?
what about the person he murdered? What do these witnesses want a pink birthday cake exit?
Lol, my comments keep getting deleted immediately on videos like this. What's with all the censorship, TH-cam??
They will delete anything that isn't anti-Trump hate. I took someone's criticism of Fox, repeated it, replaced Fox with MSNPC, and they deleted it. Not the original though.
Simple: TH-cam is a flock of leftards that can't stand truth being spoken.
What would the ceo of msnbc want to happen to the killer if she was murdered?
Violently shaking, thrashing...something the victim can never experience...
Another question i have for his wife. Why would you wanna watch that? Bad enough thinking about his heinous crime.
She had been paying life insurance on him and now she wasn't going to get it that's why she was crying
I'm guessing so that he could see her and know that she was as near as she could be to him.
CLOSURE!
@@SledDog5678 More like PTSD, and trauma for her. Loyalty should have boundaries. He's gone, but now she's most likely traumatized by HIS KARMA.
I have mixed feelings about the death penalty ... and I certainly would not be able to implement the man's death. However, does ANYONE consider the suffering the murdered woman went through as they discuss this?
I grasp that some behaviour in society is completely unacceptable and that the rest of society should not be accountable financially for enabling that behaviour whether incarcerated or not. That does not mean that we have to be brutal about curtailing that behaviour. I had a much-loved dog. She lived to be twenty years old in human years which is quite a feat. Her legs started to cave. I could see in her an embarrassment and sort of a shame that she could no longer support her body to go out to pee or poo. I had to let her go for both her dignity and mine. I was with her when she left this world. It was calm and peaceful. She simply went limp, and she was gone. The point of this long text is that if veterinarians have worked out dignified euthanasia then why can we not extend the same care to people for reasons we don't understand cannot be part of a disciplined society? We do not have to sink to the level of a perpetrator to end the perpetration of agony.
It seems ironic that we are more humane to animals than we are to humans -- until you remember that humans are actually much more evil than animals. Despite their having no sense of morality, animals are morally superior beings to humans. I can't think of a single "evil" animal -- but all I have to do is look around to see many, many evil human beings. So whenever I hear arguments like yours -- "if we can do it for animals, why not humans?" -- my first thought is that you're elevating humans to the same moral level as animals -- which completely ignores the vastly disproportionate evil of humanity.
Your final sentence has me wondering. Who decides the conditions that make sense for human euthanasia? I think allowing it opens a dangerous door we as a society will have trouble putting back because society may eventually decide that conditions allowing euthanasia should be expanded to include, for instance very poor/homeless people, disabled people, or just people who run out of funds to pay for nursing home care in their elder years. I'm an only-child who is still single at 38, with no kids, and not many relatives who are younger than I am. I fear a future society, say around 2060 or so, will decide I am not worth enough to keep around on Earth due to my disabilities costing society more than I make working.
@@SaintD382 When stupid is evil, you do a good job of showing us that. Your response completely ignores the point and falls into pathetic rationalizing and mental contortions.
I to, have had to let cherished pets go in that way. I wondered how veterinary doctors can seem to perform this procedure in a humane way.
Completely nonsense you compare a dog with a monster!!
“Inside the house, Elizabeth was ambushed, violently punched, beaten, and bludgeoned, and stabbed over and over again with the six-inch survival knife that Smith and Parker had brought with them.”
Wait... WHAT? The convict is asked if he/she opts in for Nitrogen gas??? Correct me if I am wrong but ....I'm pretty sure they person they murdered didn't get any choices.
The way I heard it, they tried lethal injection in 2022, but couldn't raise a vein to inject into. Some point later the convict suggested nitrogen. If that results in too violent a death, maybe the convict could be moved to a cell with a door for his final week, then some time during the night fill the room with carbon monoxide? Supposedly monoxide poisoning is a peaceful way to go.
Whoever is speaking is definitely a lefty
Actually exhibits the compassion that righties pound bibles and claim to possess but don't?
Oh, man....he suffered? Thats awful. I guess he shouldnt have killed anyone then.
“Inside the house, Elizabeth was ambushed, violently punched, beaten, and bludgeoned, and stabbed over and over again with the six-inch survival knife that Smith and Parker had brought with them.”Wondering if she shakes while being attacked by this monster!!
What a shame for this people who stand by the criminal, instead of the victim!
RIP Elizabeth!
His victims, I'm sure, didn't live to suffer PTSD.
Victim, singular.
The "justice" system is not supposed to torture people.
I've never understood, when they were giving lethal injections, why they used brand new needles. ... it's like... the person isn't going to catch anything. 🤔
Because in the event that the warden calls last second with a stay after they already placed the needles in him, he would be at risk for infection or disease. If they get a stay because of new evidence and then found innocent, that is a very serious lawsuit coming.
Needles dont cost much

MSDNC is more concerned about this man than they are about the family and the victim.

*He murdered someone for money. He lived over 30 years longer than the woman he murdered. His last words were non-apologetic victim-playing. Sorry, but I’m not concerned.*

@telebubba5527 What crimes do you consider to be more serious than murder?
@@carolbabb7875 One of the reasons we have so much crime in this country today is because people don't fear the consequences of their bad actions. Once people become TERRIFIED of having to pay for the consequences of their decisions, we will see a significant drop in crime. Wouldn't you say that reducing ALL crime would be best for our humanity you claim to be so concerned about? The countries with the lowest crime are those with the most severe penalties for breaking the law. It's a pretty simple equation.
100% justice was carried out. His victim live in pain for about 3 hours before she died.
Survive 3 weeks without food, 3 days without water, 3 minutes without air
No one is or ever will talk about the emotions and thoughts and sheer terror his victim experienced…
You can Google him, his victim got justice in court and was talked about as much as most other murders. But that's not what this particular story is about. It's about if we're ok with the state being able to torture individuals before executing them.
I don't think it's a good thing to have that power. The government should be dispassionate and focused on protecting the public, giving a voice to the victims, but not getting revenge.
This is an incredibly good point, except for it being something you made up in your mind as a post-hoc rationalization.
@@ethanjennings6442 the bureaucracy of the government is perfectly dispassionate, courts are impartial, and a jury of 12 renders a verdict and a sentence up to and including the DP. However, we should change the law to only allow the DP from an actual 12 member jury, not a judge.

This story is NOT about the crimes of the Condemned! It about the process of the State to administer capital punishment...full stop!!!
Was the innocent person he killed also violently shaking and thrashing?
The slow reduction of atmospheric pressure results in drowsiness, unconsciousness and death, it happens in airplanes quite often.
"Often" really?
Apparently not,
I wonder how his victims died were they calm?
The authorities expected him to be "unconscious within seconds and die within minutes".
Outrageously misleading statement, avoiding just exactly what he experienced during those seconds and minutes before his death.
He stabbed a mother to death. No consideration for her pain and thrashing, her children, the lasting pain of her family without a mother... nothing. I feel nothing for that man. Think about that before you consider anything for that monster. THINK about what you are saying and who you are weeping for!!!
During his initial attempted execution, this man dehydrated himself and tried all measures to avoid making injection easy. He refused to make a fist. Fine, can't expect him to cooperate. But, for him to claim that the poking of the needle for failure to find a vein intravenously and then intramuscularly and "excruciating poking from the needles" was inhumane?? He stabbed a woman to death! He never fully accepted his capital sentence. As the AG put it, "he gamed the system for as long as he could," prolonging his life until HE chose the nitrogen gas method. Presumably, he didn't think he would get his choice approved due to his prior "botched" execution, let alone by a never-before-tested method. But, the state used his own defense attorneys' expert witness on euthanasia against him, the expert claiming, "it's a humane way to die!" He also held his breath as long as he could and was told only to drink clear liquids an hour or so before the execution. He didn't eat all day then ate Waffle House smothered in A1, so that he could get sick and choke on his vomit and not breathe in nitrogen, so that it would look inhumane and someone would step in. They knew he was going to be doing this. Unsurprisingly, during his final statement, there was no mention of the victim and no apology to the victim's friends and family or the courts. Just some offensively ironic ravings about "love, peace, and light."

Why does the death row inmate look like a dollar store version of Al Capone?
I have wondered if that was a factor in him missing out on being reprieved. The jury actually voted 11 to 1 against him getting the death penalty but the judge overruled him. Then, later, Alabama changed the law so that judges cannot overrule juries on that point.
It was my understanding that nitrogen doesn't result in the buildup of co2, so there isn't a carbonic acid response in the body, which makes me wonder if the thrashing and shaking was theatrics, or perhaps a fear response, rather than it being a biological response.
Yep
🤨 Who’s to say it really Nitrogen?!

Nitrogen is actually euphoric. The effects of nitrogen are known to every diver in the world. It is used in assisted suicide. The effects related to this execution cannot be the result of nitrogen.They can only be described as the understandable effort of the condemned to avoid breathing
Just a small correction: Nitrogen is euphoric only under elevated pressure. That's where the 39m depth limit for recreational diving comes from. It has no effects under normal atmospheric pressure.

Call it inhumane, call it violent, call it anything you want, but far worse can be said of what his victim went through when she lost her life. I don't lack empathy, nor did I want this man to suffer, but when comparing the death of his victim to his own death, he clearly got the better option -- not that she was voluntarily given one at all.
Hey Mr, you have to find another job.
That one is very unhealthy!!
