Biden gives life in prison to 37 of 40 federal death row inmates before Trump can resume executions.These dirt bags have been convicted of some of the worst crimes and sentenced to death and it should stand. Joe is a despicable waste of flesh.

These sentences where not commuted on the merit of innocence. We have an an appeals process for that. It is not like the evidence was with held to preserve a conviction for some prosecutors winn/loss record. [This message has been edited by jdv (edited 12-23-2024).]

Are you suggesting this is the only alternative to murdering 100 innocent people?

I always thought the point of the pardoning process was to pardon someone you personally felt was given an excessive sentencing, or someone whom you feel had already done their time despite a jury's decisions many years ago for a longer sentence.
Is this normal for a president to just unilaterally start pardoning people? Like... why has Biden pardoned now close to 2,000 people?

Copied and pasted from the above link.
| quote | Death sentences are different. Almost all are based on convictions after jury trial, and even the handful of capital defendants who plead guilty are then subject to trial-like-sentencing hearings, usually before juries. All death sentences are reviewed on appeal; almost all are reviewed repeatedly. With few exceptions, capital defendants have lawyers as long as they remain on death row. Everyone, from the first officer on the scene of a potentially capital crime to the Chief Justice of the United States, takes capital cases more seriously than other criminal prosecutions—and knows that everybody else will do so as well. And everyone from defense lawyers to innocence projects to governors and state and federal judges is likely to be particularly careful to avoid the execution of innocent defendants.
This extraordinary difference in resources and attention generates two related effects. (i) Advocates for a defendant are much more likely to pursue any plausible post-conviction claim of innocence if the defendant is under sentence of death. (ii) Courts (and other government actors) are much more likely to consider and grant such a claim if the defendant is at risk for execution. As a result, false convictions are far more likely to be detected among those cases that end in death sentences than in any other category of criminal convictions. |
|
Knowing that this occurs in virtually every case where a death sentence is imposed, the execution of such convicted murderers is justified. Errors are always possible but, very unlikely with so many reviews and second, third and more looks. One would wonder if Biden would be so forgiving if one of his family were the victim of a murder. I have sincere doubts. The victim's families of such crimes are justified in their anger.
