(Montgomery, Ala) – Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall issued a statement Thursday evening following the execution of Anthony Todd Boyd by nitrogen hypoxia at the William C. Holman Correctional Facility in Atmore:
“A jury unanimously convicted Anthony Todd Boyd in March 1995 for the horrific murder of Gregory Huguley, who was burned alive over a $200 debt. For more than 30 years, Boyd sought to delay justice through endless litigation, yet he never once presented evidence that the jury was wrong.
In 2014, he challenged Alabama’s lethal injection protocol, and in 2018, he opted for nitrogen hypoxia—each time strategically avoiding accountability for his crime. Gregory Huguley was never afforded the chance to delay his own brutal and untimely death.
Alabama remains steadfast in its commitment to uphold the law and deliver justice for victims and their families. I am proud of my team’s tireless dedication to that mission, and I pray that Gregory’s loved ones may finally find peace in knowing justice has been served.”
Attorney General Marshall cleared the execution to commence at 5:55 p.m.
Anthony Todd Boyd’s time of death was 6:33 p.m.
Legal Summary: State of Alabama v. Anthony Todd Boyd
On July 31, 1993, Boyd and several co-defendants kidnapped Gregory Huguley in Anniston over a $200 cocaine debt. The men transported Huguley to a baseball field in Munford, where they duct-taped him to a bench, doused him with gasoline, set him on fire, and watched as he burned to death.
Boyd was convicted by a jury of capital murder during a kidnapping and sentenced to death. Over the following three decades, Boyd repeatedly delayed his execution, first in 2014, when he challenged Alabama’s lethal injection protocol, and again in 2018, when he selected nitrogen hypoxia as his preferred method of execution.
