Alabama Governor Kay Ivey commutes the death sentence of Charles Burton to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole, saying executing Burton would be unjust given disparate outcomes among co-defendants.Burton was convicted under the felony murder doctrine for a 1991 AutoZone robbery in Talladega in which Derrick DeBruce shot Doug Battle; Burton had left the store before the killing and maintains he did not expect the shooting.The commutation, Ivey's second, halts a planned execution by nitrogen gas at Holman Correctional Facility and draws praise from jurors, the victim's daughter
Lois Harris and defense lawyers while Attorney General
Steve Marshall condemns the decision.
