Alan Eugene Miller , 59 , was sentenced to death in 2000 for the 1999 killings of three men.

A previous attempt to execute Miller using lethal injection was called off two years ago after state officials said they couldn’t access Miller ’s veins before the execution warrant expired.

A federal lawsuit filed by Miller over the use of nitrogen hypoxia in his execution was settled last month .

Proponents say a person would likely lose consciousness shortly into the procedure.

Death by nitrogen gas has been criticized as experts have said it could lead to excessive pain or even torture.

During Smith’s execution, he appeared conscious for “ several minutes ,” and for two minutes after that, he “shook and writhed on a gurney” UN experts “unequivocally condemned” the execution and the use of nitrogen gas inhalation, saying it was nothing short of State -sanctioned torture.
