Recently, Alan Eugene Miller, a former Alabama defensive lineman, passed away at 27 after battling cancer. Described as a great teammate, Miller faced health challenges in recent times.

In a different development, Alabama plans to conduct Alan Eugene Miller’s execution using nitrogen gas instead of lethal injection. Governor Kay Ivey has scheduled the execution for September 27, between midnight and 6 a.m., for the 1999 murders of three coworkers. This will be Alabama’s second nitrogen hypoxia execution, following Kenneth Eugene Smith’s execution in January.

The Alabama Supreme Court authorized Miller’s execution on May 2. He was convicted in 2000 for the murders of Lee Michael Holdbrooks, Christopher S. Yancy, and Terry Lee Jarvis, whom he believed were spreading false information about him at work. Miller’s defense argued that his mental disorder played a role in the victims’ deaths by gunshot.

This will be Alabama’s second attempt to execute Miller, following a previous unsuccessful attempt in September 2022, during a year marked by three botched executions. Joe Nathan James, Jr. was executed in July 2022 after a prolonged attempt, while Miller’s execution that September was called off after hours of unsuccessful attempts to establish an IV line. Kenneth Eugene Smith’s execution was rescheduled due to similar issues.

Governor Ivey had temporarily halted executions to address concerns and implemented procedural changes following reviews by the Department of Corrections in early 2023. Miller filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in March, alleging that the state violated his rights by seeking retribution for his disclosures regarding the botched execution attempt.
