Alabama Lethal Injection

Alabama Governor Kay Ivey is seeking a pause in executions and ordering a "top-to-bottom" review of the state's capital punishment system. The move occurred after an unprecedented third failed lethal injection.

Alabama has called off a scheduled execution for the second time since September. Kenneth Smith faces the death penalty for the 1988 murder-for-hire slaying of a preacher's wife. His execution was called off after the state had trouble establishing an IV before the midnight deadline to get the execution underway.
