Alabama is scheduled to execute 49-year-old Jeffery Lee via lethal injection on Thursday evening. The execution is set to take place at 6 p.m. in Montgomery, Alabama, for his role in pawnshop killings.

This procedure follows a legal delay from three months ago, when a judge blocked the state from carrying out the death penalty using nitrogen gas. The upcoming execution marks the state's transition to lethal injection to proceed with the sentence.
