Robin Myers was convicted of committing murder during a 1991 robbery. Gov. Kay Ivey said evidence in his case was not enough for her to support putting him to death.

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey has announced the commutation of Robin “Rocky” Myers from death row to life in prison without parole, marking the second time since the death penalty was reinstated in the state in 1976 that a sitting governor has commuted a death sentence.
