On December 23rd, The New York Post<\/a> posted an article about a number of prison sentences commuted during the final days of the Biden administration. Some of the people whose sentences were commuted as simply scary.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

President Biden on Monday commuted the sentences of 37 of the 40 men on federal death row \u2014 a list that includes at least five child killers and several mass murderers \u2014 while leaving off three notorious fiends.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…\u201cMake no mistake: 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,\u201d Biden said in a statement.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cBut 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. In good conscience, I cannot stand back and let a new administration resume executions that I halted.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article lists some of the beneficiaries of President Biden’s largess:<\/p>\n

Among those receiving the holiday cheer is Thomas Sanders, who in 2010 kidnapped and then shot 12-year-old Lexis Roberts four times and cut her throat in Louisiana \u2014 days after the girl watched as Sanders murdered her mother on a road trip near the Grand Canyon.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Christmas also came early for Anthony Battle, who murdered an Atlanta prison guard with a hammer in 1994 while serving a life sentence for raping and murdering his wife, a US Marine, in 1987 at Camp Lejeune, NC.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jorge Avila-Torrez sexually assaulted and stabbed to death two girls \u2014 Laura Hobbs, 8, and Krystal Tobias, 9 \u2014 who had been riding their bicycles in their neighborhood in a suburb north of Chicago in 2005.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Four years later, he strangled naval officer Amanda Snell, 20, inside her barrack in Arlington, Va.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Iouri Mikhel, another clemency recipient, was convicted of murdering five Russian and Georgian immi\u00adgrants after kidnapping them for ransom, which in some cases was paid before he killed them anyway.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kaboni Savage, meanwhile, was convicted of committing or ordering the deaths of 12 people including four children as a Philadelphia drug dealer \u2014 while James Roane, Jr. participated in the murder of 11 people as a drug dealer in Richmond, Va.<\/strong><\/p>\n

My first thought is to wonder who exactly is making these decisions. Is President Biden aware enough mentally to study these cases and make the decisions?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
