Alabama Governor Kay Ivey commutes Charles Burtons death sentence to life without parole, drawing national attention due to his Muslim faith and the approaching Ramadan. Burton, convicted for a 1991 robbery where Doug Battle was killed, did not pull the trigger. The shooter, Derrick DeBruce, was already sentenced to life without parole. Iveys decision is praised by anti-death penalty advocates and conservative groups, while the Battle family grieves their loss. This marks the third death sentence commutation in Alabama since 1976.
