Suggested Talking Points:

1. Mr. Boyd is innocent but was found guilty due to ineffective assistance of counsel who failed to conduct reasonable substantial pretrial investigations of state witnesses and of their agreement with the state and of alleged eyewitnesses; also, failure to present forensic science expert testimony, expert pathologists and eye witness identification which would have nullified all so called incriminating evidence.

2. By failing to interview state witnesses prior to trial effective cross examination was impossible.

 3. There is a lack of scientific evidence supporting the use of nitrogen gas for human execution, and the American Veterinary Medical Association advises against its use for most mammals because it can cause panic and distress. We continue to condemn the use of nitrogen hypoxia – it is neither quick nor painless and we believe it constitutes torture or at the least amounts to cruel and unusual punishment which is barred by the U.S. Constitution.

4. Alabama has a duty to carry out executions under the protection of the U.S. Constitution. For this reason we believe there should be a stay of executions to allow for a thorough study of the state’s capital punishment practices in light of the serious objections raised over how it administers the death penalty.
