October 22, 2025
Alabama is preparing to execute a man by nitrogen gas for the 1993 murder of a man who was set on fire over a drug debt. Anthony Boyd is scheduled to be executed Thursday evening at William C. Holman Correctional Facility. A jury convicted Boyd of capital murder for his role in killing Gregory Huguley in Talladega County. A witness, testifying as part of a plea deal, told jurors that Boyd taped Huguley’s feet together before another man doused him in gasoline and set him on fire. Boyd has maintained he is innocent.
