The Spin

Left narrative

Alabama executed an innocent man using nitrogen hypoxia solely on eyewitness testimony, relying on a codefendant who admitted to changing his story after cutting a plea deal. His court-appointed lawyer was paid just $1,000 and openly admitted he didn't have time to prepare for this capital case. Boyd's execution shows that there is no justice system in the state of Alabama.

Right narrative

Justice has finally been served after three decades of delay tactics by a convicted killer. A jury unanimously found Anthony Boyd guilty of the horrific murder of Gregory Huguley, who was burned alive over a $200 debt. Boyd spent 30 years filing endless litigation to avoid accountability, never once presenting evidence that the jury was wrong about his guilt in this brutal crime.
