Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey has commuted the death sentence of a 75-year-old inmate who was set to be executed this week even though he was not in the building when the victim was killed. Ivey on Tuesday reduced Charles “Sonny” Burton’s sentence to life in prison without possibility of parole. Burton was sentenced to death for the shooting death of Doug Battle during a 1991 robbery. However, another man shot Battle when Burton had left the building. The shooter’s death sentence was later reduced on appeal to life imprisonment. Ivey said she thought it would be “unjust" to execute Burton, considering that the shooter was spared the death penalty.
Pope Leo XIV has accepted the resignation of the Chaldean Catholic bishop of San Diego, California. The decision was announced Tuesday by the Vatican after the bishop was arrested on embezzlement charges. The San Diego County Sheriff’s Office said last week it had arrested Bishop Emmanuel Shaleta on March 5 at San Diego International Airport as he tried to leave the country. The office says it acted after someone from Shaleta’s church provided a statement and documentation “showing potential embezzlement from the church.” There was no immediate reply to an email sent to Shaleta’s parish, St. Peter Chaldean Church.
Court documents show that a man accused of killing three women in Utah so he could steal their cars and credit cards was already known to police in Iowa. Twenty-two-year-old Ivan Miller had been due in court on Friday in Iowa, where he is accused of breaking into a cabin and illegally hunting in a game refuge back in December. Miller had been released without bail on those charges. He is now jailed in Colorado on suspicion of the three killings in neighboring Utah on Wednesday. Miller has no attorney on file in Colorado, and his Iowa attorney did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

A man who authorities accuse of killing a southern Utah woman, stealing her vehicle and driving it to a nearby trailhead and killing two women who were hiking together before fleeing in one of their vehicles has been arrested, officials announced Thursday. The Utah Department of Public Safety says two women were found dead on a hiking trail Wednesday and a third woman was found dead at her home nearby. They didn't identify the women but say one was in her 30s, one was in her 60s and one was in her 80s. Authorities say there's no indication the suspect had any connection to the victims.
The Louvre Museum, home of the ‘Mona Lisa,’ is getting a new director. Two French officials told The Associated Press that art historian Christophe Leribault, a veteran museum director, has been tapped to steer the world's largest museum out of crisis. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the appointment expected to be approved at a Cabinet meeting and announced later Wednesday. The new director will shoulder the challenge of getting the world’s largest museum out of crisis after the brazen heist in October of the French crown jewels.
