Meantime the funeral home has released a statement saying they are heartbroken and deeply sorry for what happened. That’s a major oops.“

49-year-old Jeffery Lee is set to become Alabama’s second execution of the year at 6 pm ET.  Lee was scheduled to die back in June via nitrogen gas for the double murder of a pawn shop owner and his employee. Lee also shot and thought he killed a second employee who played dead, but was able to call 9-1-1 and identify Lee. Lee was only sentenced to death after a judge overruled a jury of his peers who voted 7 to 5 for life in prison. A 2017 law in Alabama no longer allows judges to overrule a jury’s ruling, but it’s not retroactive, and does nothing to spare Lee from dying by lethal injection this evening.
