President Biden needs to explain his death-sentence commutations “to our faces,” says the furious brother of a young female naval officer murdered by one of the “despicable’’ clemency recipients.
“I’d rather see it go back to the way it was, where he was sentenced to death,” said Alex Snell, 42, of Jorge Avila-Torrez, who fatally strangled Snell’s 20-year-old sister, Amanda Snell, in her Arlington, Va., barracks in July 2009.
“He should have gotten that penalty,” Snell told The Post of the killer — who also sexually assaulted and murdered two little girls and raped a grad student.
In a sweeping act of clemency, Biden lowered the death-penalty sentences of 37 of the feds’ 40 current death-row inmates to life in prison without parole.
Snell said he was in “disbelief” when he learned Biden had rubbed salt in the wound of grieving families by issuing the commutations two days before Christmas — and that he’s “angry that justice is not being served.
“Why does he need to get special treatment? He’s just going to risk other people,” Snell said of Avila-Torrez.
“What justification does [Biden] have for doing this? I want to have him explain to us, to our faces, why he chose to give them mercy when they didn’t give other people mercy.”
The savagery of Avila-Torrez’s crimes stand out even among the roster of some of the nation’s worst offenders.

“The duo targeted the immigrant community, luring victims in with the promise of profitable business deals before ruthlessly beating them, kidnapping them, demanding ransoms from their families and, ultimately, strangling them to death.
“Between 2001 and 2002, Mikhel and Kadamovas murdered four men and one woman, disposing of their bodies five hours north in the New Melones reservoir near Yosemite.”
Sorru folk, but Biden, et Al, doesn’t give 2 $#!+$ about you, your deceased loved ones, or law abiding citizens.
This is a DNC/CCP/Soros/Obama plan to
MAXIMIZE THE PAIN AMERICANS MUST ENDURE
because of them.
Accountability is — and has been LONG — required.
These Biden clemencies and pardons cannot stand. People not “in sound mind”, even Presidents, cannot make legal decisions. This has to be pursued, and then reversed.
Charlie Kirk has stated that he now fears the Biden people will issue a blanket pardon for all illegal aliens.
I wouldn’t put it past them, since they’re obviously on a mission to stick it to the incoming president and the millions who voted for him.
The victims’ kin should realize that Biden has already explained the actions to which he put his name and signature upon. Case closed. Fini, fin, ende, kaput.
The only real question here is whether he even knew what he was signing. He likely didn’t even review any of them, frankly.
“...they’re obviously on a mission to stick it to the incoming president ...”
That they are.
I’m hoping that some great legal mind with power challenges decisions (pardons, clemencies, etc.) made by Biden since he isn’t in his right mind.
Many voters are starting to slowly realize that:
Democrats don’t care about innocent people.
Democrats don’t care about working people.
Democrats don’t care about decent people.
The best thing you can say about today’s Democrat leadership is that they live in a bizarre fantasy world where every monster just needs a hug.
That belief is more than just wrong. It’s disgusting, and extremely dangerous.
The family should demand it of the people who installed the POTATUS...
How does that happen?
Did Trump execute anyone during his First Term?
If so, I do not recall that.
If Presidents have decided not to enforce the death penalty, they can just withhold their signature on the necessary paper work.
You can’t make them citizens with Pardon.
It would only erase the crime of illegally entering the US.
They could still be deported.
BTTT
I would agree with that statement.
I’ve become opposed to the death penalty, because of human corruption and error by police and prosecution....but stories like this....I think, kill them all yesterday.
The local news is covering the story of two local guys that are having their death sentences commuted. They confessed to killing a young lady during a car jacking after they escaped from prison, and the body has never been found.
They haven’t been released, the death sentence is now life with no parole.
Kinda tricky to pardon them of the crime of coming here illegally when they’ve been claiming all along that coming here illegally is not a crime...
“The only real question here is whether he even knew what he was signing”.
Of course not, but Merrick Garland, an opponent of the death penalty, does.
AP/MARCH 2023. Death penalty opponents expected Biden to act within weeks of taking office to fulfill his 2020 campaign promise to end capital punishment on the federal level and to work at ending it in states that still carry out executions. Instead, Biden has taken no steps toward fulfilling that promise.
He cannot pardon administrative or civil actions.
I agree with you. My concern is Kamala would do the same.
