The family of a South Carolina bank teller gunned down during a 2017 robbery is livid after President Biden commuted her killer’s death sentence just days before Christmas.
Now Donna Major’s family is left reeling through the holiday season, rattled by the news that the convicted criminal had been shown the mercy he refused to show others.
“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,” Major’s daughter Heather Turner said Tuesday on “Fox & Friends.”
“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,” Major’s husband, Danny Jenkins, added during the show.
“I can’t even believe that this is actually happening…”
Career criminal Brandon Council was among 37 inmates whose federal death row sentence was commuted to life in prison by President Biden earlier this week.
Surveillance video from the 2017 double murder shows Council walking into CresCom Bank in Conway, South Carolina, approach Major and speak to her briefly before pulling out a gun and shooting her multiple times.
He then leapt over the counter and opened fire on 36-year-old teller Kathryn Skeen, killing her as well.
President Biden addressed the commutations in a statement, saying, “I am commuting the sentences of 37 of the 40 individuals on federal death row to life sentences without the possibility of parole. These commutations are consistent with the moratorium my Administration has imposed on federal executions, in cases other than...

I doubt Biden did the commutation as he his head is empty and his mind bereft of the slightest intelligence or capability for reasoning. It was probably his staff, a bunch of leftist egotists who could care less about the American people. My heart goes out to these families who had to suffer their loss due to this criminal garbage.
Good post.
Victims’ loved ones and neighbors and coworkers get swept aside if they don’t fit politicians’ upward career trajectories.
And don’t tell me convicts don’t fear the death penalty and see it as a deterrent. Phony statistics as usual.
The entire ‘biden administration’ should be deported. I don’t care if they all were born in Philadelphia on the 4’th of July. Send the bastards packing.
This crime occurred the day of the full eclipse in SC (and other places). In so many ways, the sun has not come back out.
Two more of the commutees, Basham & Fulks, also had crime scenes in this community.
The locals are reeling from these events … thx Joe s/
There’s no way legal decisions can stand if they’re made by a person not of sound mind. There must be SOMEBODY who will challenge these pardons an commutations.
If Hur decreed that Biden was too retarded to stand trial for his crimes months ago, then he’s too retarded to make these decisions now.
No, they should be imprisoned. Gulag style facilities.
families who’s loved ones died due to Biden Harris open borders should sue them both.
All these families get to join the club of where Biden says I don’t give a shit about you and your pain...just like the families of Marines killed in Afghanistan. If he did talk to them he’d probably start talking about Beau Biden.
Three years ago today, 13 American heroes were killed in the Harris-Biden botched Afghanistan withdrawal

And I remember when then CO governor Hickenlooper did this with the murderer of the Chuck E. Cheese employees here in Aurora. I felt so bad for those parents and family members.

And let’s not forget our dear Jorge Bush going to bat at the last minute for one of the murderers of Elizabeth Pena and Jennifer Ertman...thankfully that POS was executed:

We have had some real PsOS in charge.
I hope the new administration will pursue some of this. I know they already have a full plate trying to undo so much of the damage that’s been done.
In 1960 we were warned that a Catholic president would be taking orders from the Pope, is any coincidence that Biden visited the Pope just prior to doing this and also allowing the gates of hell open to our nation, I think not!
Maybe send all the illegals to the Pope for his love and blessings, he has walls that can keep millions in and use the churches magnificent wealth to support them! In for a penny, in for a pound.
From the article:
.....”The only federal death row inmates excluded from Biden’s commutations were Boston marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, Tree of Life synagogue shooter Robert Bowers and Dylan Roof, who was responsible for killing nine African Americans at a Charleston church in 2015.”
