Hi, I suggest the edits in red. Do I say: In 1972 (no comma) her sentence was commuted to life imprisonment , following the suspension of capital punishment in California OR Following the suspension of capital punishment in California, her sentence was commuted to life imprisonment in 1972 . Both are OK.
