Alabama is preparing to execute an inmate for the shooting deaths of three people during a 1994 robbery despite objections from the man’s lawyers that the state’s method of execution is unconstitutional and violates the eighth amendment. Robert Bryant Melson, 46, is scheduled to die by lethal injection on Thursday evening at a south Alabama prison. If the execution goes ahead, it will be the 13th this year in the United States and the second in Alabama in 2017. State prosecutors said Melson and another man who used to work at the restaurant robbed a Popeye’s in Gadsden, 60 miles north-east of Birmingham.
