Alabama is seeking to execute Jeffery Lee by lethal injection after his nitrogen execution was blocked. The state's Attorney General's office asked the Alabama Supreme Court to authorize a death warrant.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- Alabama on Friday moved to execute a man with lethal injection hours after his nitrogen execution was prevented from going forward.
The Alabama Attorney General’s office asked the Alabama Supreme Court to authorize a death warrant for Jeffery Lee, this time using lethal injection.
“In sum, ADOC has not been barred from executing Lee, only from executing him by nitrogen hypoxia,” state lawyers wrote.
A spokesman for Lee’s legal team said they did not have an immediate comment on the action. The next step is for his attorneys to respond to the request at the Alabama Supreme Court.
The filing came hours after Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall promised to continue fighting to carry out Lee’s death sentence.
