Virtual Press Conference; Advocating for Clemency for Charles "Sonny" Burton on Tuesday March 5th

Yesterday, advocates held a press conference for Charles “Sonny” Burton headlined “A Life on the Line: Clemency for Sunny Burton. Rabia Chaudry, criminal justice advocate and author of “Adnan’s Story: The Search for Truth and Justice After Serial,” hosted the virtual press conference as support clemency grows ahead of the State of Alabama’s planned March 12 execution of Burton for his role as an accomplice in a 1991 robbery of an auto parts store, despite not being the person responsible for death of store customer Doug Battle.

Burton himself was present and participated in the virtual press conference.

This space featured Burton’s case in a call for action for advocates to send the message to Alabama Governor Kay Ivey to grant clemency for Burton. Feel free to revisit that post for a review of Burton’s case and his fight to save his life.
