“Mr. Smith was not notified that a federal court had stayed his execution as he lay immobilized for hours by the tight straps all across his body, nor was he allowed to communicate with his counsel as his appeals were being submitted and litigated.”
Kenneth Eugene Smith, the man who survived Alabama’s latest execution attempt, is claiming in a new court filing he was strapped to a gurney for four hours, injected with an unknown substance and poked with needles until the state eventually called off the execution just before midnight.at William C. Holman Correctional Facility. The prison, located in Atmore, is the only state facility with an execution chamber.
“But the execution continued on in defiance of the 11th Circuit’s stay, with Mr. Smith remaining strapped to a gurney until nearly midnight,” the filing says. Two hours later, according to the filing, an IV team entered the execution chamber and began “repeatedly jabbing Mr. Smith’s arms and hands with needles, well past the point at which the executioners should have known that it was not reasonably possible to access a vein.
Next, the filing says the IV team injected Smith “with an unknown substance that…was some sort of sedative and/or anesthetic.”had agreed not to use intramuscular sedation“After this injection, a person of unknown medical credentials wearing a face shield started repeatedly stabbing collarbone area with a large needle in an attempt to begin a central line IV in his subclavian artery,” the filing says.
The document says Smith’s attorneys saw reports on social media that the execution had been called off around 11:20 p.m., and asked ADOC officials for confirmation.If you purchase a product or register for an account through one of the links on our site, we may receive compensation.
