World2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported18m ago
Alabama Governor Kay Ivey has commuted the death sentence of Toforest Johnson to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Johnson was convicted in 1995 for a murder and had been awaiting execution on death row prior to this decision.
The commutation follows ongoing concerns regarding the validity of Johnson's original conviction. The governor's action removes the threat of execution for the inmate, effectively ending his status as a death row prisoner.
