President Biden's decision to commute the sentences of 37 out of 40 federal death row inmates marks a significant move against capital punishment, especially before Trump’s presidency.
Biden's commutations come after significant pressure from opponents of the death penalty, who urged him to act swiftly before Donald Trump, a supporter of capital punishment, takes office.
The three inmates remaining on death row were convicted of particularly heinous crimes, including mass killings and acts of terrorism, illustrating the complexities of the death penalty debate.
With these commutations, Biden reaffirms his position against capital punishment, setting a stark contrast to Trump's campaign promises to restart federal executions.
