“But it pales in comparison to the pain and suffering Ludie Mae Tucker and Marie Dutton endured on the night of October 4, 1991 — and to the many hardships the Tucker family has endured at the hands of our imperfect justice system.
Ivey said Myers, who was facing execution this spring, will instead spend the rest of his life in prison without the possibility of parole.
The decision came after ongoing questions about the case that included a lack of physical evidence at the crime scene tying him to the 1991 capital murder of Ludie Mae Tucker in Decatur, Alabama.
I pray that the Tucker family may, in some way, find closure and peace knowing this case is closed, and Mr. Myers will spend the rest of his life in prison.”.
Kay Ivey on Friday commuted the death sentence of Robin “Rocky” Myers to life in prison after noting questions about his case.
