The case comes after the state paused executions last fall and conducted a review of its execution process after problems with multiple lethal injections came into the national spotlight. Smith argued the state should not try to execute him again by lethal injection, but should instead use nitrogen gas. He won his case at the lower court level. Do you believe death row inmates should have the right to choose their preferred method of execution?

Alabama had asked the high court to intervene – arguing that a lower court that contravened Supreme Court precedent that requires an inmate to demonstrate that a proposed alternative method is not just "feasible" but able to be "readily implemented." Should the Supreme Court require inmates to demonstrate that an alternative execution method is not just "feasible" but also "readily implemented"?
