Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey commuted the death sentence of Robin “Rocky” Myers to life in prison Friday, saying there were enough questions about his guilt that she could not move forward with his execution.

Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall was highly critical of Gov. Kay Ivey’s decision Friday to commute an Alabama inmate’s death sentence. In a Friday night statement, Marshall said Ivey’s decision belied the facts of Robin “Rocky” Myers' case.

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.

Just days after Alabama Supreme Court Justices authorized his execution, a Decatur capital murder convict had his death sentence commuted by Governor Kay Ivey.

Robin “Rocky” Dion Myers, a man who has long claimed innocence in the 1991 killing of a north Alabama woman, will not be put to death by Alabama. Gov. Kay Ivey announced Friday she has commuted his sentence to life in prison without the chance of parole.

Robin Dion "Rocky" Myers, 63, was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to death for the 1991 capital murder of Ludie Mae Tucker in Decatur. Myers was set to be executed by nitrogen gas hypoxia.

Larry Wayne Whitehead, 62, was convicted in 1996 for the death of Albertville police officer and detective Andrew Whitten. Whitten was set to testify against Whitehead in an upcoming theft trial, according to court records.

Christopher Sepulvado, 81, died Saturday at the Louisiana State Penitentiary in Angola, Louisiana, "from natural causes as a result of complications arising from his pre-existing medical conditions," according to the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections.
