MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) 鈥� Alabama on Friday moved to execute a man with lethal injection hours after his nitrogen execution was prevented from going forward.
The Alabama Attorney General鈥檚 office asked the Alabama Supreme Court to authorize a death warrant for Jeffery Lee, this time using lethal injection.
鈥淚n sum, ADOC has not been barred from executing Lee, only from
executing him by nitrogen hypoxia,鈥� state lawyers wrote.
A spokesman for Lee鈥檚 legal team said they did not have an immediate comment on the action. The next step is for his attorneys to respond to the request at the Alabama Supreme Court.
The filing came hours after Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall promised to continue fighting to carry out Lee鈥檚 death sentence.
