Governor Kay Ivey spares life of man not present during murder
  • Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey commuted the death sentence of Charles Burton to life without parole.
  • Burton was involved in a robbery that resulted in the death of Doug Battle, but he was not present when the shooting occurred.
  • Ivey's decision was partly influenced by public support and questions about fairness in sentencing.
