Today, President Biden announced that he is commuting the sentences of 37 individuals on federal death row. Those individuals will have their sentences
Commuted the sentences of 37 of the 40 people on Federal Death Row. Anyone know who the unlucky 3 are, and any ideas why they didn’t get their sentences commuted?
They were the Boston Bomber, a white nationalist that shot up a black church in 2015, and a nazi that shot up the tree of life synagogue in 2018. So you know, mass murderers.
These commutations are consistent with the moratorium my Administration has imposed on federal executions, in cases other than terrorism and hate-motivated mass murder.

Per Biden’s statement,
In which case, Robert Gregory Bowers, Dylann Roof, & Dzhokhar Tsarnaev all fit those exceptions.
Interestingly (morbidly?) all of these happened in the last 10 years.
