Summary
A federal judge has ruled that nitrogen gas executions are unconstitutional, now just one day before Alabama is set to execute Jeffrey Lee by that very method. Lee was convicted for the 1998 double murder of two pawn shop employees. Alabama is now barred from using nitrogen gas, so it’s unclear how or if they plan to move forward with the state’s two other options: electrocution or lethal injection.

| 0:05.9 | Hey there, folks. |
| 0:07.1 | It is Wednesday, June 10th, and an execution is scheduled for tomorrow, Thursday, June 11th. |
| 0:15.5 | But a judge just said that the method they want to use to kill this guy is now unconstitutional and suggest |
| 0:25.8 | it. Why don't you try shooting them instead? And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and |
| 0:30.3 | T.J. Everything I just said, Robs is not hyperbole. It is not taking liberty with the story. |
| 0:35.5 | That is exactly what is happening in Alabama right now for an execution plan for tomorrow that we, as we sit here, don't know if it's going to happen. |

| 0:57.9 | the method that the state of Alabama has used since 2024, is unconstitutional because it's |
| 1:03.9 | cruel and unusual. So you had a federal appeals court say, you know what, we also think it's |
| 1:09.2 | intolerable. And so they ruled that they did think |
| 1:12.6 | it was cruel, but they stopped short of barring the state of Alabama from using it. And they |

| 1:29.2 | ban the state of Alabama from using it going forward. Say that again. Robs, their preferred |
| 1:35.7 | method of execution is banned, barred, cruel and unusual. Uh, hello, Supreme Court. You guys |
| 1:42.6 | busy? I'm going to need to talk to you. |
| 1:44.6 | They're going to have to settle this. |
| 1:45.7 | Absolutely. |
