Alan Eugene Miller: Judge calls off execution of killer 'by any method other than nitrogen hypoxia'
ATMORE, ALABAMA: A federal judge has called off the planned execution of Alan Eugene Miller. The judge ordered Alabama that Miller who was convicted of a triple homicide more than 20 years ago, cannot be executed through lethal injection this week and instead he would be executed by nitrogen hypoxia, to which Miller formally agreed in 2018.
“Miller has shown, based on the evidence presented, a substantial likelihood of success on the merits... and that the balance of harms weighs in his favor. Therefore, Miller has established his entitlement to a preliminary injunction that prevents the State from executing him by any method other than nitrogen hypoxia,” US District Judge R Austin Huffaker Jr wrote in his Monday order, according to AL.com.
