CNN: 37 Individuals Serving Life Sentences Instead of Death Row Is Biden Delivering His Campaign Pledge

EXCERPT:

TAUSCHE: “There are two real reasons behind Biden's decision to commute the sentence of these 37 individuals, all the inmates on federal death row, except for three. Those three responsible for mass murder and terrorism, according to President Biden. They are Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who is behind the Boston marathon bombing. Dylann Roof, of course, the shooter at the historically Black Church in Charleston in 2015, as well as Robert Bowers, who is the Tree of Life Synagogue shooter. But for the 37 individuals who will now be serving life sentences instead of sitting on death row, the consideration was really twofold. First, President Biden had suspended federal executions when he came into office. There was a worry that with President-elect Trump coming back into office, that that could be reversed. And some advocacy groups had warned about executions en masse when that happened. And second, this is really Biden delivering on a campaign pledge.”
