Description

Alabama Governor Kay Ivey commuted the death sentence of Charles Lee Burton, a seventy-five-year-old convicted murderer, to life in prison without parole. Burton, who organized a 1991 armed robbery at an AutoZone store resulting in a customers death, faced execution by nitrogen hypoxia. Attorney General Steve Marshall criticized the decision, labeling Burton a career criminal and murderer. Despite Burtons age and poor health, Marshall, who is running for U.S. Senate, vowed to continue fighting for justice.
