Governor Ivey Faces Clemency Plea for Burton

Published 1 week, 1 day ago
Description

Alabama Governor Kay Ivey faces intense pressure to grant clemency to Charles Sonny Burton, a 75-year-old death row inmate set for execution amidst Ramadan. Despite not being the shooter in a 1991 AutoZone robbery murder, Burton is the only one facing death, while the actual gunman received life without parole. Social media users and Burtons daughters have urged Ivey to reconsider, citing new evidence and the support of six out of eight living jurors. Iveys team maintains that the governor reviews each case carefully, but the national outcry, including from faith leaders, continues to grow.
