Alabama plans to execute Anthony Boyd next week with nitrogen gas for a 1993 murder.

No physical evidence linked Boyd to the crime.

He was convicted solely on the testimony of a co-defendant who avoided the death penalty by testifying against him.

No physical evidence connected Anthony Boyd to a 1993 murder. He was sent to death row on the word of a co-defendant who testified under the threat of capital punishment.
