Nebraska state Sen. Loren Lippincott, of Central City, sits at his desk on the floor of the Nebraska State Capitol, Friday, Jan. 5, 2024 in Lincoln, Neb.. Lippincott has introduced a bill to add asphyxiation by nitrogen to the state's method of carrying out the death penalty. The measure comes even as Alabama officials await a judge's ruling on a request to block its plans to become the nation's first state to carry out an execution by nitrogen gas.
