Kay Ivey commuted on Tuesday the death sentence of Charles “Sonny” Burton to life without parole, saying his execution, which was set for Thursday, would be "unjust." In 1991, Burton was one of six men involved in the robbery of an AutoZone store in Talladega that ended with the murder of a customer, Doug Battle; Burton did not pull the trigger in the killing.
