Toforest Johnson’s death sentence was commuted in Alabama today. Gov. Kay Ivey acknowledged concerns about the evidence that led to his 1998 conviction. Johnson’s case is the subject of @bshelburne’s Bone Valley Season 4, Earwitness.
TOFOREST JOHNSON'S DEATH SENTENCE HAS BEEN COMMUTED! Gov. Kay Ivey grants clemency in long-running wrongful conviction. I am sobbing with gratitude and relief. More work to do, but this is a victory for truth and justice. Thank you, God!!!!!!!!!!
