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.

Maybe the Biden crime family was paid off for Joe’s decision to pardon these killers.
“fears the Biden people will issue a blanket pardon for all illegal aliens.”
We could still kick them out, couldn’t we?
A demented old tyrant throwing his remaining power around just because he can, a way to flip a departing finger to the country he has despised all his life.
I was wondering if that was the case. Basically, overturning a death sentence.
...anything more is just opening the gates of hell and letting dogs loose, which is unconscionable.
btt. THIS ACLU CRAP HAS TO BE STOPPED AT BOTH STATE/FED LEVELS.
FJB explain something?
He doesn’t have a clue what “he” has done . . .
biden, the bitter, decrepit old man, is not going to apologize. He got some kind of kickback for issuing the pardons, and he’ll soon be in the basement of one of his mansions so he doesn’t give a flying fornication about what families of the victims think.
Disgusting, but expect the most outrageous Biden pardons are yet to come.
I doubt Trump refused it. It was stuck somewhere appeals probably. Nothing a president can do about that.
