Meet the Violent Killers That Will Escape Execution After Biden Commuted Their Sentences
Outgoing President Joe Biden recently commuted the death sentences of 37 of 40 violent criminals condemned for their grievous crimes. They include murderers of young children, the elderly, and entire families. The only three exceptions were white supremacist killer Dylan Roof, the antisemitic Tree of Life shooter, and the surviving Boston Marathon bomber.
Apparently the death penalty is wrong – but only if you’re not racist or a terrorist in one of the most liberal cities in the nation.
Biden commuted their sentences to prevent the incoming Trump administration from carrying out the federal executions.
During his first term in office, Trump oversaw 13 federal executions. He also planned to extend the death sentence to human traffickers, drug dealers, and cop killers.
Here are just some of the violent killers that Biden let off the hook.
Brandon Council
Brandon Council was convicted of killing 59-year-old Donna Major and 36-year-old Katie Skeen during a horrific CresCom bank robbery. Katie’s husband, Daniel Major, slammed President Biden for “disregarding” the justice system and unilaterally reducing the killer’s punishment.
Skeen’s mother, Betty Richardson Davis, also described Biden’s commutation of her daughter’s killer’s sentence as an injustice to the family.
“I am totally disappointed in our justice system,” Daniel Major said. “The fact that the senile president has the power and the authority just disregard [the] justice system, it’s a complete abuse of power.”
Conway Police Chief Dale Long then described the horrific murders of the two bank employees as an event that “ripped the fabric” of the otherwise peaceful city.
Brandon Basham and Chadrick Fulks
Brandon Basham and Chadrick Fulks were sentenced to death after murdering Alice Donovan, 44, and Samantha Burns, 19, in 2002 after escaping prison.
Basham was found guilty and handed the death sentence after the court found him guilty of kidnapping Donovan from Walmart, raping her, and eventually taking her life. Her remains were later found in 2009, seven years after the horrific crime.
Basham and Fulks also admitted to murdering Burns, who disappeared from a shopping mall’s parking lot in West Virginia. Her remains have never been found.
Former Cop Len Davis
Death row inmate former cop Len Davis was a former New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) officer who abused his power by ordering the murder of Kim Groves, 32, after he filed a civil rights complaint against him.
Davis headed a notorious corrupt cops group at NOPD that aided drug traffickers and helped free criminals while setting up innocent individuals.
Edward Leon Fields, Jr.
Another death row inmate, Edward Leon Fields, Jr., was convicted of murdering husband and wife Charles Glen Chick, 47, and Shirley Chick, 50, while camping at the Winding Stair Mountains in Oklahoma.
Marvin Charles Gabrion II
Marvin Charles Gabrion II was found guilty of murdering a teen mom Rachel Timmerman, 19, who was about to testify against him over rape allegations. Timmerman was thrown into a lake while still alive, with her eyes and mouth covered in duct tape and body fastened in chains and padlocks.
Daniel Troya and Ricardo Sanchez, Jr.
Daniel Troya and Ricardo Sanchez, Jr. were convicted of wiping a family of four, consisting of Jose Luis Escobedo, 28, Yessica Guerrero Escobedo, 25, and their two children in 2006 at West Palm Beach, Florida.
The duo, involved in drug trafficking, then discarded the victims’ bodies on the side of the highway and took off in the family’s Jeep Cherokee.
Thomas Sanders
Thomas Sanders kidnapped and killed a 12-year-old child, Lexis Roberts, after shooting and killing the mother, Suellen Roberts, who he was dating in 2010. Lexis died after Sanders shot her four times, sliced her throat so badly, almost decapitating her, and discarded her body in the Louisiana woods.
Ex-Marine Anthony George Battle
Ex-marine Anthony George Battle was handed the death sentence after bludgeoning corrections officer D’Antonio Washington, 31, while serving a life sentence for the murder and rape of his ex-marine wife at Camp Lejeune, N.C.
“I don’t think it’s justice, but there is nothing I can do about it,” the murdered prison guard’s father told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution after receiving the news of Biden’s commutation.
Similarly, drug kingpin Kaboni Savage was convicted of murdering 12 people, including a family of six.
“In good conscience, I cannot stand back and let a new administration resume executions that I halted,” Biden said, adding, “I am more convinced than ever that we must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level.”
Sadly, Biden believes his political ideology is more important than the victims’ justice.
