Show Notes

Alabama Governor Kay Ivey commuted Charles Sonny Burtons death sentence to life without parole, sparing him from execution. Burton, who spent over three decades on death row for a 1991 robbery, did not fire the fatal shot. His family, who fought for clemency, expressed joy and relief. Burton, described as a good-hearted man, will now serve his life sentence without the threat of execution.
