Biden Commutes Death Sentences of 37 Federal Inmates

ai generated text

Joe Biden has commuted the death sentences of 37 out of 40 federal inmates on death row, sparing their lives and leaving only three inmates, including the Boston Marathon bomber and the man who killed Jewish worshippers, facing execution. This decision is part of a moratorium on federal executions imposed by the Biden administration. The commutations are the highest number of death sentences commuted by any president in the modern era. Biden's decision comes as campaigners had warned that President-elect Donald Trump, who is known to support the death penalty, would not commute the sentences.

    1. I've dedicated my career to reducing violent crime and ensuring a fair and effective justice system.
    2. These commutations are consistent with the moratorium my administration has imposed on federal executions, in cases other than terrorism and hate-motivated mass murder.
    3. Joe Biden just commuted the Death Sentence on 37 of the worst killers in our Country. When you hear the acts of each, you won't believe that he did this. Makes no sense. Relatives and friends are further devastated. They can't believe this is happening!

    1. The death penalty is the ultimate cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment, and President Biden's eleventh-hour decision before leaving office to commute these death sentences is a big moment for human rights.

    1. Trump has been fairly consistent in wanting to sort of say that he thinks the death penalty is an important tool and he wants to use it.

    1. She was shown no mercy at all. This man walked into the bank, never said two words to her. Shot her three times in total. He went and shot her coworker, Katie Skeen as well, who was totally defenseless and unaware of anything happening.

    Heather Turner
    1. I was angry. I'm still angry. I am upset that this is even happening, that one man can make this decision without even talking to the victims, without any regard for what we've been through, what we're going through, and completely hurt, frustrated and angry.
