Episode #307: Kenneth Eugene Smith

I dag snakker Per og Henrik om Kenneth Eugene Smith (1965-2024). Han var en leiemorder som ble hyret til  å drepe kona til en kamerat i Alabama i 1988. Han overlevde et henrettelsesforsøk i november 2022. Dette la grunnlaget for at en ny  henrettelsesmetode som innebærer at den dømte puster inn ren nitrogen for så å kveles av mangel på oksygen skal testes på han den 25. januar 2024. Kenneth Eugene Smith erklært død klokken 20:25 lokal tid. Det er også duket for NRK-hjørnet. God lytting!

Today, Per and Henrik talk about Kenneth Eugene Smith (1965-2024). He was an hitman who was hired to kill a friend's wife in Alabama in 1988. He survived an execution attempt in November 2022. This laid the groundwork for a new method of execution that involves the condemned man breathing in pure nitrogen and then suffocating from lack of oxygen to be tested on him on January 25, 2024. Kenneth Eugene Smith was pronounced dead at 8:25 PM local time. The stage is also set for the NRK corner. Good listening!
