Convicted murderer becomes Louisiana's first nitrogen gas execution after appeal denied
Fox News
Louisiana death row inmate Jessie Hoffman is the state’s first person to be executed with nitrogen gas after he raped and murdered 28-year-old Mary “Molly" Elliott in 1996.
Hoffman, 46, was convicted in 1996 of the kidnapping, rape, and murder of 28-year-old advertising executive, Mary "Molly" Elliott.
Elliott was abducted by Hoffman, who was 18 at the time, from her home the day before Thanksgiving and shot execution-style in rural St. Tammany Parish.
Shortly before Hoffman was scheduled to be put to death, the U.S. Supreme Court denied a last-ditch request to block the execution.
