The state of Alabama knows that Charles “Sonny” Burton didn’t kill anyone. He wasn’t there when his accomplice in a robbery pulled the trigger. But unless Governor Kay Ivey or the U.S. Supreme Court intervenes, Burton will be executed on March 12th via nitrogen gas. NBC News’ Dan Slepian spoke to him from death row, and a juror who thinks she made a grave mistake. He reports on the legal doctrine called “Felony Murder” that locks up thousands.
