Source on this? I can't find anything about that. I did find this.
That alone is enough for me to question the states ability to administer justice. Whoever told you he requested it is a liar and likely trying to manipulate you; or is just stupid.

Please tell me you're kidding. You obviously don't read the newspapers. It was in all of the Tribune papers and USA TODAY - this man ASKED to be executed by nitrogen gas.
You're failure to keep up on the news is not proof that what I'm saying isn't right. Sheesh!!
The state has supreme ability to administer justice and in every case should be doing so. YOU are an asshole and an idiot and a liar because you hate the fact that I've cornered you on this.
So go suck a lemon and continue to parade your ignorance around online for all to see ya dumb fuckhead.
>"it was all over the news!"
>can't provide any proof
Burden of proof is on you, buddy.
WRONG AGAIN. You're the one making a false accusation that I'm lying, the burden of proving I am is ON YOU, not me.
In Friday's edition (January 26th) of USA Today there's a lengthy article about this man's execution and once again it says, "he chose to have this method of execution." It says so pretty clearly. If you choose not to follow up and read the article for yourself, it's only because you don't want to read the truth.
And it's also been reported on the national news that he CHOSE this for his manner of death. So if you're not willing to face that, that's on you.
I'm not the one you've been arguing with and I'm also European 🤷♂️
You made a claim, you need to provide proof for it, not everyone else. That's how burden of proof works.
I did provide proof with the name of the publication and date of it as I posted above. I not only made the claim, I backed it up. When will you have the maturity to see that and admit it.
