Jessie Hoffman, 46, was convicted in 1996 for the kidnapping, rape and murder of 28-year-old Mary ‘Molly’ Elliott
A Louisiana death row inmate on Tuesday was executed with nitrogen gas, a method that has never been used before in the state.
“Louisiana has successfully used nitrogen hypoxia to carry out the execution of Jessie Hoffman,” Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill shared with Fox News Digital in a statement.
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.
