Yeah, I’m aware (for similar reasons). The description I read in one article at the time sure made it sound very similar, though. Any idea what they’re doing if not that?
No idea what they’d be using, but since it was for executions in the US I wouldn’t for one second doubt it was a shitty quality device from a private company that was just taking in tax dollars and to hell with the outcome for the person in it. :/
That’s exactly what happened. The supplier cut corners and the device didn’t flush the CO2 away resulting in an agonizing death suffocating on CO2. They also didn’t supply enough nitrogen and just used whatever tank they could procure from a welding supply store.

It’s sad that I can know what happened without even looking it up… God this country sucks
