Jessie Hoffman Jr.
Jessie Hoffman Jr. is a death row inmate in Louisiana who gained attention for seeking to block his execution scheduled for March 18, 2024, using nitrogen hypoxia, a method he and his attorneys argue is cruel and unusual punishment. Convicted of the 1996 execution-style murder of Mary Elliott, Hoffman's legal team contends that the execution method infringes upon his religious practices and exacerbates his mental health issues, including PTSD and claustrophobia.
