A cold-blooded killer who was spared the death penalty by President Biden is now demanding he be set completely free — because prison is just too awful.
Brandon Council, 38 — who killed two moms working at a bank — filed a motion Friday claiming the Indiana federal prison where he is staying is one of the worst in the world and that his solitary confinement has been tantamount to illegal torture.
The convicted double-murderer said he has endured “severe, unnecessary, and unjustifiable psychological harm” at FCI Terre Haute since his sentencing in 2019 and deserves “compassionate release.”
The conditions “can only be accurately construed and assimilated as an act of torture,” Council claimed, according to the Daily Mail.
*** The demand came just days after Biden infamously commuted the death sentences of Council and 36 other Death Row inmates Dec. 23 in one of his last acts in office.
The president’s action reduced their sentences to life in prison instead of execution.
Council was sentenced to death in 2019 for the heinous 2017 murders of two South Carolina bank employees and mothers — 59-year-old Donna Major, and 36-year-old Kathryn Skeen — during a bloody robbery.*** Council went into the CresCom Bank in Conway that August day with the intent of killing, according to US Attorney’s Office for the District of South Carolina. He didn’t hesitate to shoot Major several times as she sat behind a counter. He then went into Skeen’s office and gunned her down, too.
He made off with $15,000 cash and the keys to both his victims’ cars.
Biden — who opposes the death penalty — acknowledged that the heinous crimes committed by Council and the other Death Row inmates were “despicable acts,” even as he bestowed leniency on them. ***

(Liberal Response) You posted 3 pictures. Which one of them is the bank robber?
Good one!
It’s probably too late now, I assume, but it should be possible for South Carolina to prosecute, and possibly execute, the guy for murder, rather than relying on the federal government to do the right thing.
Murder has no statute of limitations.
“Murder has no statute of limitations.”
That’s what I’m kind of wondering. Just go after him for simple murder, and then gas him.
Unless he repents of his murderous deeds being in prison will be a heaven compared to his hades bound destiny.
Did biden pardon any White guys?
Murder has no statute of limitations.

Light him up before the New Year!
Putting him on trial again for his life violates my understanding of the constitution's prohibition of double jeopardy.
I know, the federal government goes after people they don't like even after they are convicted - or acquitted - in state courts. I've never liked that because it violates our Bill of Rights.
Well, it’s not like he had anything to do with the Jan 6 INSURRECTION! (/S)
The dual sovereign clause also allows two states to prosecute for the same crime. As when a kidnapping crosses state lines. What I do not like is how the feds create laws which should only apply to the states.

Homey upset that what he feared all along is true — spending his unnatural evil lifespan in a Fed Supermax, rather than being released by nitrogen gas or some strapped-down overdose.
>>claiming the Indiana federal prison where he is staying is one of the worst in the world and that his solitary confinement has been tantamount to illegal torture.
We should get him out of that hellhole and contract with Russia to complete his sentence at the Black Dolphin.
I really appreciate your list of the offenders helped by Biden.
Many thanks.
Heard a pastor saying that so many Americans live a ‘secret sin’ (drunkenness, drug abuse, adultery) that they don’t much mind Infant Murder, LGBTQ and TransSickness...
Then we wonder why the judgement of God has come home to our republic.
Photos....
As many victims’ families have tried to ask:
“The killer got all of his rights. When do the victims get rights?”
“Compassionate release.”
We’ll show you what compassion we have for you.
No mercy for the merciless.
