Washington, Dec. 23, 2024 – President Joe Biden is commuting the sentences of 37 inmates on federal death row, the White House announced Monday.
The move is coming not even two weeks after he went through with the “largest single-day grant of clemency in American history.
Biden is commuting sentences of 37 out of the 40 inmates on federal death row, reclassifying their sentences to life without the possibility of parole.
The three inmates not included are: Robert Bowers, who is responsible for the mass shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue in 2018, which left 11 people dead.
The second is Dylann Roof, a White supremacist who killed nine Black parishioners at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina, in 2015.
The third is Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who worked with his now-dead brother to perpetuate the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing that killed three people and injured hundreds. (FOX)
