“Kenny just began to gasp for air repeatedly and the execution took about 25 minutes total.”

Pretty compassionate way to kill a person.

Once again, the Law in the south is brutal.

    The nitrogen assisted suicide used a different delivery method. The mistake was using a mask for the execution.

        Many commenters here have addressed it - use an airtight chamber or pod, and flood it with nitrogen to evacuate other gases. The problem was likely that the inmate was able to breathe in some oxygen through gaps around the mask.
