That would be my hunch too. Hunches are cheap. GP seemed to have a little more than just hunches.

- CamperBob2 3y agotjpnz called it "cruel and unusual punishment." Nitrogen asphyxia is unusual, but the fact is that it's not inherently cruel except in a purely-psychological sense, which would be true of any execution method. Those who claim it is painful are either mistaken or actively lying. We know that because it occasionally happens in industrial accidents, and survivors have consistently described the experience as painless. So it doesn't meet the standard for cruel and unusual punishment as far as the legal system is concerned. That has nothing to do with whether it's just. No form of capital punishment based on the blatantly-subjective standard of "guilt beyond reasonable doubt" can be just, but that's not what's being discussed here.
