Thank you to everyone who has signed the petition. The parole hearing is one week from today, so please remember our family. If you have reached this site to sign the petition, you may still email your personal protest to debra.bonds@alabpp.gov until the day of the parole hearing, April 30, 2014.
On March 12, 1999, Eric Wayne Boyd, along with his brother Nathan Lee Boyd, brutally murdered Joseph Daniel "Danny" Sledge at The Galley restaurant in Florence, AL. On April 20, 2001, Eric was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole for Felony Murder.
As of March 15, 2014, Eric has been incarcerated for 15 years for his role in this heinous crime (2 years in local custody and 13 years in state prison). Danny was stabbed multiple times, beaten, and robbed by Eric and his brother Nathan for a reported $600 and a weekend of drugs and partying. 15 years is hardly a punishment for the crime committed against Danny and his family and friends.
The parole date has been set for April 30, 2014.
