President Joe Biden has commuted the sentences of 37 death row prisoners to life in prison.
“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,” he said in a statement on Monday.
“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.”
Biden’s decision drew criticism from Republican lawmakers.
“When given the choice between law-abiding Americans or criminals, Joe Biden and the Democrats choose criminals every time,” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) said on social media.
Biden is slated to leave office on Jan. 20, 2025.
His successor, President-elect Donald Trump, has said he would expand executions for federal inmates. In his speech announcing his run for president in the 2024 election, he said that people who were “caught selling drugs” would “receive the death penalty for their heinous acts,” alluding to fentanyl dealers.
In Trump’s first term, 13 federal executions were carried out, the first since 2003.
Who Was Pardoned The 37 death row inmates whose death sentences were commuted by Biden are Shannon Wayne Agofsky, Billie Jerome Allen, Aquilia Marcivicci Barnette, Brandon Leon Basham, Anthony George Battle, Meier Jason Brown, Carlos David Caro, Wesley Paul Coonce Jr., Brandon Michael Council, Christopher Emory Cramer, Len Davis, Joseph Ebron, Rickey Allen Fackrell, Edward Leon Fields Jr., Chadrick Evan Fulks, Marvin Charles Gabrion II, Edgar Baltazar Garcia, Thomas Morocco Hager, Charles Michael Hall, Norris G. Holder, Richard Allen Jackson, Jurijus Kadamovas, Daryl Lawrence, Iouri Mikhel, Ronald Mikos, James H. Roane Jr., Julius Omar Robinson, David Anthony Runyon, Ricardo Sanchez Jr., Thomas Steven Sanders, Kaboni Savage, Mark Isaac Snarr, Rejon Taylor, Richard Tipton, Jorge Avila Torrez, Daniel Troya, and Alejandro Enrique Ramies Umana.
