They weren’t run over by a reindeer.
President Biden on Monday commuted the sentences of 37 of 40 men on federal death row — a list that includes at least five child killers and several mass murders — in a stunning act of clemency just two days before Christmas.
Biden, 82, gave the reprieve to the nation’s most violent murderers — nine of whom were found too dangerous to live after butchering fellow inmates — as part of his effort at “ensuring a fair and effective justice system,” the White House said.
“Make no mistake: I condemn these murderers, grieve for the victims of their despicable acts, and ache for all the families who have suffered unimaginable and irreparable loss,” Biden said in a statement.
“But guided by my conscience and my experience as a public defender, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Vice President, and now President, I am more convinced than ever that we must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level. In good conscience, I cannot stand back and let a new administration resume executions that I halted.”
Biden, who opposes the death penalty, lowered each of the 37 sentences to life in prison without parole. He did not say why specifically he considered the original penalties unjust.
Among those receiving the holiday cheer is Thomas Sanders, who in 2010 kidnapped and then shot 12-year-Lexis Roberts four times and cut her throat in Louisiana — days after the girl watched as Sanders murdered her mother on a road trip near the Grand Canyon.
Christmas also came early for Anthony Battle, who murdered an Atlanta prison guard with a hammer in 1994 while serving a life sentence for raping and murdering his wife, a US Marine, in 1987 at Camp Lejeune, NC.

Those that are kind to the cruel invariably become cruel to the kind .
The pope genuflects to Islam and the homosexual agenda and anthropomorphic climate change and socialism and etc, etc.
Biden is a sociopathetic liar and
criminal. He got away with everything.

Eternity will be a different thing, imo.
Just remember that Biden isn’t really doing this. He has clearly been a sock puppet for his entire stay in the WH.
So if it fits his politics he’ll execute
This is why we need a star chamber. At the least a federal employee working for the DoJ named Dexter.
The three that were not commuted were those that had incorrect motives or thoughts.
Why haven’t the Republicans attempted to remove Biden from office? He is non compos mentis.
“Make no mistake”
When a rat sez this…..they’re lying.
1000% THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bttt
IIRC-—it costs at LEAST $100,000 a year to keep a death row inmate incarcerated.
This is precisely why we need an effective death penalty. Sentences should be carried out within a few years at most.
