NEW: A legal battle is playing out in Alabama over the execution of Alan Eugene Miller.
It begins in 2018, when the state gave death row prisoners a short window in which they could choose to die by a never-before-tried method: oxygen deprivation. nytimes.com/2022/09/23/us/…
Alan Eugene Miller, who was convicted of murdering three men in a workplace rampage, said he opted for that new method because he had become afraid of needles after a bad experience getting blood drawn in prison.
A judge stopped the execution, ruling that Alan Eugene Miller likely did submit his form and prison officials lost it.
But last night, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that the execution can go ahead. Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined the liberals in dissent. nytimes.com/2022/09/23/us/…
Breaking: Albuquerque mosque president tells @AvaSasani that the authorities told him the suspect in the killings of four Muslim men is Sunni Muslim and targeted the victims because he was angry over his daughter marrying a Shiite Muslim. nytimes.com/2022/08/09/us/…
Breaking: police say they've arrested Muhammad Syed, 51, and charged him with two of the killings, which they describe as possibly being the result of "an interpersonal conflict."

More people who were concerned by his behavior in the weeks and months leading up to the attack: nytimes.com/live/2022/05/2…
Experts in mass shootings call advance disclosures like the ones from the Uvalde gunman "leakage," and say that they are much more common among young gunmen than older attackers.
Introducing his interview with Kyle Rittenhouse — the first since he was acquitted — @TuckerCarlson says it's "hard to ignore the yawning class divide" between Rittenhouse, 18, who worked as a janitor and cook in high school, and "his many critics in the media."
After Kyle Rittenhouse, then 17, fatally shot two people and wounded a third during destructive demonstrations in August 2020, he says his mom "wanted to go into hiding."
But, he says, "I said no, the right thing to do would be to turn myself in — I didn't do anything wrong."
Rittenhouse says his old lawyers had him do interviews "which I should never have done" & took their time bailing him out, telling him he was "safer in jail."
