Jessie Hoffman, sentenced to death for the kidnapping, rape and murder of Mary Elliot, was executed by nitrogen inhalation, a first in Louisiana. The method has been compared by UN experts to a form of 'torture'. The execution took place after a court overturned a stay, saying other methods could be more painful. Since the beginning of the year, the US has had six executions and the death penalty is abolished in 23 states.
