Jason @benedictsred.bsky.social and I were watching England v Argentina this week, when my mom spotted David Beckham in the stands. She quite seriously said, "Is that Burt Reynolds?," at which point Jason replied, "Bend it like the Bandit," and that's really all the World Cup news you need

Do you know there are 25 ppl on AL Death Row sentenced to die when their juries ruled otherwise? Pls take a look, this website shows how easily you can get involved in correcting this unconstitutional injustice, which will, in turn save lives! 🧵

Law used to allow a judge to impose the death penalty when a jury ruled against it, but all states banned that except AL. AL banned it but did not apply that retroactively, thus leaving 26 men condemned to death by a judge's decision. There are 25 left. It's easy to do something about this!

If you have no idea who I am talking about when I say Jeffery J Love Lee, here's a link to a prior thread with a link to a prior thread 🤣
From the bottom of my heart to all who read these and do something about it, thank you.
I'll write jokes again soon, I hope. Life has been extraordinary.25 6Jul 25, 2026 -

Pls, Jeffery Lee and others on AL death row as a result of unconstitutional legal practices and a horrifically unjust "justice" system all the way up to SCUSA deserve a few minutes of our time to take the easy actions listed in the top two websites on this thread. I appreciate you all so much. 💕Lil

Even a former state prosecutor, Circuit Judge, and twice elected Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court believes that to apply the law fairly we must make the ban of judicial override apply retroactively:

The state is now moving to execute J Love Lee again ASAP. More info on judicial override and him here, and I'll include some updates on J Loves case in this thread for those of you following his case. 🧵

Jeffrey Lee update:
The day after J Love,'s scheduled execution was halted, the state filed for another death warrant. They're furious that the historical ruling finding the AL nitrogen protocol unconstitutional spared his life that day, and they're out for blood. 🧵18 1Jul 25, 2026 -

Also, TN botched the lethal injection execution of Tony Carruthers so severely two months ago, it was called off and he was left paralyzed on one side. It appears he had a stroke from their torture. Meanwhile, our governor refuses to change anything about their protocol that allowed it

Here's another article prior to the ruling that explains a bit of why we hoped they would not be able to move fwd with lethal injection in his case and many others:

This week Judge Emily Marks ruled against J Love's request to amend an order. The request to set a date for his execution by lethal injection is back on Gov Ivey's desk, in other words, but the fight continues, and we need help! This was prior to that ruling:

Thanks, Rich 💕 I had no idea how common that is till I got involved, though I'm against state killing whether innocent or not. Toforest Johnson is on Alabama death row and EVERYBODY knows he's innocent, including the state.
There's a great podcast series on his case too.8 2Jul 25, 2026 -

![hypoxia. The result is that the State of Alabama cannot execute Lee by nitrogen hypoxia—
no more, no less.
Federal courts are routinely placed in the difficult position of comparing methods
of execution, both old and new alike. This Court is intimately familiar with the history of
method of execution claims in this State. As methods evolve and change, so too do the
challenges to each method. The only constant is litigation. Were Alabama to adopt firing
squad as a method of execution, that method would likely be challenged as well. Indeed,
there is likely no method—no matter how humane—that would be immune to
constitutional challenge. Cf. Bucklew, 587 U.S. at 140 (acknowledging in passing that a
condemned inmate may have just as much motivation to forestall his execution entirely as
to “avoid[] unnecessary pain”). But the Constitution does not guarantee a painless death,
see id. at 132, and human life cannot be purposefully extinguished without some risk of
pain. The Court, the condemned, and the State must all confront that sobering reality.
Accordingly, the Court DECLARES and ORDERS as follows:
1. The ADOC’s nitrogen hypoxia execution protocol violates the Eighth
Amendment;
2. The State is PERMANENTLY ENJOINED from executing Lee using the
Protocol;
3. Judgment is entered in favor of Lee and against the State;
Case 2:25-cv-00680-ECM Document 187 Filed 06/09/26 Page 25 of 26
26
4. Lee’s motion to enter judgment in his favor or, in the alternative, to stay his
execution (doc. 185) is DENIED as moot;
5. Costs are taxed as paid.
A separate Final Judgment will be entered.
DONE this 9th day of June, 2026.
