Alabama’s experiment of execution by nitrogen hypoxia has utterly failed, Elizabeth Bruenig argues. She reports on yesterday’s brutal execution of Anthony Boyd and its implications:
Tortured to Death in Alabama
The state killed Anthony Boyd last night, and the process was anything but humane.

Oh my God
"Boyd asks for the barest form of mercy: to die by firing
squad, which would kill him in seconds, rather than by a
torturous suffocation lasting up to four minutes. The Constitution would grant him that grace. My colleagues do not."

Just over an hour after 3 Supreme Court justices warned that Alabamian Anthony Boyd would suffer psychological torture, he was subjected to the longest nitrogen gas execution in US history, gasping for air more than 225 times. Read my eyewitness account: www.treadbylee.com/p/after-just...
After justices warned of prolonged suffocation, Alabama subjected Anthony Boyd to the longest nitrogen execution in U.S. history.
Boyd was the chairman of Project Hope, a death row-led nonprofit. Its members are left reeling in the wake of their leader's suffocation execution.

It’s been almost axiomatic for a long time that John Boyd can’t be fully understood because he never wrote anything down. That argument no longer holds. “Snowmobiles and Grand Ideals” is the definite Boyd, in his own words, from start to finish:

He was too poor to hire an attorney.
One of his co defendants was able to hire a good lawyer & testified against Boyd for lesser sentence
His trial was only two days.
What did he request? A firing squad. He requested not to suffer.
They suffocated him to death instead.

Alabama plans to execute Boyd with nitrogen gas tomorrow, an experimental method that involves suffocating prisoners to death. “There’s nothing you can do to prepare for something like that,” Boyd told me. “You can’t prepare a person for drowning.”

This evening, I will serve as a witness to the nitrogen gas execution of Anthony Boyd, should it move forward. Take a moment to read this story about his legacy on death row. If the state executes Boyd, an eyewitness account will be added to this piece. www.treadbylee.com/p/hope-in-th...
Hope in the House of Death
Alabama is scheduled to attempt the gas execution of Anthony Boyd. Those living on the state's death row find it hard to anticipate the loss of one of their longtime leaders.
