Most people executed have confessed to the crime. 99% of these crimes involve multiple murders and not just car theft or something like that......The few that haven't confessed basically have to be found with blood on their hands after killing someone and many witnesses saw them do it ( not just one witness)........DNA of a prisoner on multiple peoples clothing he/she has killed over the years also makes things pretty obvious and there must be proof they were in the area when someone was killed........But no, you won't be executed if just one person claims to have seen you at a crime scene.

You need oxygen mixed with the nitrogen to survive. 100% nitrogen gas means no oxygen and without oxygen you lose consciousness and die pretty quickly. I don’t agree with the assessment that it will be “painless” considering we don’t actually know that though.

I don't remember the State , but a man convicted of murdering a store clerk during a robbery was scheduled to die in the electric chair . Well , they closed the switch on the condemned man three times , but there was no power . The man's attorney , who witnessed the whole thing , gasped with delight at the failed third try , because by law , he knew that they had to commute his client's sentence to life . A couple of weeks later , another man confessed to the crime , and he was a dead ringer for the convicted man - who incidentally had no criminal record . It turns out that an innocent man would have been executed had the executioners been able to get the electric chair to work . The real killer was not sentenced to death for the original murder .

Most YT channels don’t allow links to be posted in comments but if you search: U.S. Supreme Court allows death row inmate's lawsuit after failed execution - you should find the article. Basically, Smith filed a lawsuit asking to be put to death using nitrogen instead of lethal injection.. He actually was then brought into the execution chamber to receive lethal injection but they couldn’t find a vein that they could insert the needle into. This is freaking barbaric!
