Show Notes
Alabama Governor Kay Ivey commuted Charles Burtons death sentence to life without parole, citing the unfairness of executing him while sparing the actual shooter, Derrick DeBruce. Burton, convicted in the 1991 capital murder of Doug Battle during an auto parts store robbery, did not fire the gun and had left the store before the shooting. Ivey, who supports the death penalty, hopes for peace for the victims family.
