Life for Charles "Sonny" Burton: Act now to Save Sonny!

from Set For Sentencing · host Doug Passon

Charles "Sonny" Burton is a 75 year old man on Alabama's death row.  But he NEVER KILLED ANYONE.  He was convicted under the archaic and unjust "felony murder" rule.  His more culpable co-defendant got life.  Six jurors regret their vote and want him to live.  The victim's daughter wants him to live.  There has likely never been a more compelling case for clemency.  It's now in the hands of the governor to spare his life. Act now to save him!   Contact Governor Kay Ivey and make your voice heard -- 334-242-7100 Instagram:  @governorkayivey  go to www.charlessonnyburton.com to sign a petition.   Here's a compelling new NBC News report on Sonny: Alabama set to execute man who didn't kill anyone
