Podcast: Amy & T.J.Published On: Wed Mar 11 2026
Description: In a surprising and rare move, Alabama Governor Kay Ivey commuted the death sentence of a man who was scheduled to die by nitrogen gas on Thursday. 75 year old Charles “Sonny” Burton was convicted of the 1991 murder of Doug Battle because he was a part of a robbery where one of his cohorts shot and killed Battle. While the man who pulled the trigger got life in prison, Burton wound up on death row. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
