US Biden Commutes Death Row Sentences to Life Without Parole

US President Joe Biden has converted the death sentences of 37 of the 40 inmates on federal death row, to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.

Those who had their death sentences commuted included nine people convicted of murdering fellow prisoners, four for murders committed during bank robberies and one who killed a prison guard.

Three men: Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who helped carry out the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing; Dylann Roof, a white supremacist who in 2015 shot and killed nine Black churchgoers in Charleston, South Carolina; and Robert Bowers, who killed 11 Jews at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life synagogue in 2018, were however excluded from the move.

This comes ahead of the return to power of Donald Trump, who has indicated that he would restart federal executions, having ended a 17-year pause in federal executions in 2020, during his first term in office. 

There were 13 executions by lethal injection during his final six months in power, more than under any US leader in 120 years.
