<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> commuted the death sentences of dozens of convicted killers on Monday, including a man who murdered a police officer and a man who kidnapped and murdered a 12-year-old girl.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Just two days before Christmas, Biden announced that he would be commuting the death sentences of 37 out of 40 prisoners on death row, each of who had been sentenced to death over a violent crime. The only people on death row excluded from the mass commutation were the Boston Marathon bomber, the Tree of Life Synagogue Shooter, and the man who murdered nine people at the Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I’ve dedicated my career to reducing violent crime and ensuring a fair and effective justice system,” Biden <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/12/23/statement-from-president-joe-biden-on-federal-death-row-commutations/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a>. &#8220;Today, I am commuting the sentences of 37 of the 40 individuals on federal death row to life sentences without the possibility of parole. These commutations are consistent with the moratorium my Administration has imposed on federal executions, in cases other than terrorism and hate-motivated mass murder.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Make 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,” he added. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of those whose death sentence was commuted was Thomas Sanders, who was <a href="https://www.fbi.gov/contact-us/field-offices/neworleans/news/press-releases/jury-imposes-death-sentence-on-a-las-vegas-man-for-kidnapping-and-murdering-a-12-year-old-girl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">convicted</a> in 2014 of kidnapping and murdering 12-year-old Lexis Roberts. Sanders kidnapped Roberts after he shot her mother in the head. He held Roberts captive for several days before he shot her four times, cut her throat, and hid her body in the woods. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Another one of those whose sentence was commuted was <a href="https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/crime/2013/10/22/court-upholds-cop-killer-s/23840867007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cop-killer</a> Daryl Lawrence. Lawrence murdered 33-year-old Ohio police officer Bryan Hurst during a bank robbery in Columbus in 2005. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Others included a man who murdered two people in a carjacking, a man who murdered a postal worker, and multiple men who murdered fellow prisoners. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The latest move comes after Biden announced <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-announces-mass-commutations-after-criticism-over-hunter-pardon" target="_blank" rel="noopener">earlier this mont</a>h that he was commuting sentences for around 1,500 people. His commutations come as he has taken a number of other last minute policy decisions which will undermine the Trump administration.
