Here was our @Undisclosedpod series on Darrell & his case. An alternate suspect confessed to the crime & multiple witnesses placed Darrell at a repast at he time of the crime: undisclosedpod.com/cases/darrelle…

We investigated & covered the Darrell Ewing case on @Undisclosedpod in 2021. A judge dismissed the murder charges against Darrell Ewing based on a Brady violation. The State is now trying to appeal that dismissal⬇️

More on Ivey’s unexpected commutation decision nbcnews.com/news/us-news/s…

The Alabama gov commuted the death sentence of a man, set to be executed, who was convicted under felony murder doctrine. Bolts reported last year on how Alabama is extraordinarily prone to prosecute people for murder under felony murder. boltsmag.org/alabama-felony…

(GOOD) BREAKING NEWS!! Charles “Sonny” Burton has been GRANTED CLEMENCY by the Governor of Alabama! Our sincerest THANK YOU to everyone that took action by making phone calls, sensing emails, signing the petition, and/or spreading the word to help stop his execution! We did it!!!

Yes!!! Governor Ivey has removed Sonny Burton from death row. Thanks so much to all the @Undisclosedpod listeners & everyone else who reached out to the Governor!

More than 75K people have already signed the petition urging clemency for #CharlesSonnyBurton, a 75 year old man in a wheelchair who did not kill anyone. He is scheduled to be executed on March 12 in Alabama. Add your name and ask Gov Ivey to show mercy: actionnetwork.org/petitions/gov-…

For proof that this can work, you need look no further than the calls our listeners made to Governor Ivey after our Rocky Myers series, which contributed to her commuting his sentence & taking him off of death row: eji.org/news/alabama-g…

Here's Sonny's site, where you can get the details about reaching out to Governor Ivey: charlessonnyburton.com

This week's new @Undisclosedpod has a call to action! We're asking listeners to contact Alabama Governor Kay Ivey to stop Thursday's scheduled execution of Sonny Burton: audioboom.com/posts/8871303-…

@LegallyDashing It makes sense to me. It's similar to IAC claims in the context of pleas, with the question there being whether counsel's deficient performance (e.g., incorrectly claiming a motion to suppress would fail) led to the client pleading guilty.

@EvidenceProf I'm curious what you think of the section that permits a petition for PCR even if the petitioner pled guilty, as opposed to a jury having convicted the petitioner, with an attendant trial record to scrutinize to determine if PCR is warranted.

Yes!: "Legislature passes bill to help Oregonians convicted on 'junk science'": statesmanjournal.com/story/news/loc…

In pertinent part, it provides as follows:

The bill is Senate Bill 1515: legiscan.com/OR/text/SB1515…

@SteveCooperEsq @Undisclosedpod I don't, but Governor Ivey was responsive in the only other Alabama case which we featured on the podcast in which we asked her to act.

@EvidenceProf @Undisclosedpod Though people should do that—definitely—“responsive” seems a bit much, imo, unless you have some other examples to offer.

As @Undisclosedpod listeners know from our deep dive series into Rocky's case, Governor Ivey is responsive to calls for commutation. Please reach out to her & let your Alabama friends know to do the same⬇️

We just finished recording the episode with Sonny's legal team. Please reach out to Governor Ivey at the link below & let her know you want Sonny's sentence commuted⬇️

"I didn’t even know anybody was shot till DeBruce told me he had shot a guy after we left the store," Burton said. "I was so mad.": newsweek.com/alabama-man-de…

Sonny admits being involved in the robbery that led to Derrick DeBruce fatally shooting Doug Battle, but he had left the store before the shooting. DeBruce has had his sentence reduced to life without parole.

Today, we're recording a special @Undisclosedpod with the legal team for Sonny Burton, who faces execution on 3/12 despite 6/8 living jurors & the victim's daughter calling for clemency. Here is how you can act now to save Sonny's life: charlessonnyburton.com/action
