Biden commutes death sentences of 37 prisoners
Hindustan Times Gurugram
|December 24, 2024
US President Joe Biden on Monday commuted the death sentences of 37 of 40 federal prisoners, taking action ahead of the return of Donald Trump who oversaw a sweeping number of lethal injections during his first term.
WASHINGTON:
With less than a month left in office, Biden had faced growing calls from death penalty opponents to commute the sentences of those on death row to life in prison without parole, which the 37 will now serve.
The move leaves only a handful of high-profile killers who acted out of hate or terrorism facing the federal death penalty—for which there has been a moratorium under Biden.
