Biden's Pardons

UKDslayer · Friday at 9:34 PM

Biden's pardons just got a lot worse. We thought commuting the sentences of all those corrupt democrats that hurt and stole millions from American citizens was bad enough; meanwhile Biden thinks heck, let's get a bunch of people off of a death row.

Biden Mulls Commuting Sentences of All 40 Federal Death Row Inmates After Trump Promises to Accelerate Federal Executions | The Gateway Pundit | by Cristina Laila

President Biden is weighing a historic decision to commute the sentences of all federal death row inmates, a move influenced by religious and civil rights advocates. Discover the implications of this potential shift.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the Boston Marathon bomber, Dylann Roof, the man who fatally shot 9 parishioners at a church in South Carolina, and Robert Bowers, the man who carried out a mass shooting at Tree of Life Synagogue, are all currently on death row.

Biden has now pardoned over 9000 people.

Note: Names in [ ] are defendants whose conviction or death sentence have been reversed by the courts but the reversal is not yet final, or who are awaiting capital retrials or resentencings after an initial conviction or death sentence was overturned. Those awaiting retrial or resentencing are marked with a caret (^). From time to time, this list may include defendants whose cases are marked with an asterisk (*). This indicates that the defendant has received a verdict of death from the jury, but the judge has not yet issued a formal sentence.

Because of different definitions of what constitutes being “on death row,” some organizations such as the Federal Death Penalty Resource Counsel or the Bureau of Justice Statistics may have a slightly different list of those currently under federal sentence of death. The DPIC total includes individuals whose capital convictions and/or death sentences have been overturned and who face continuing jeopardy of the death penalty until their retrial or resentencing proceedings are completed, although those individuals do not have a valid death sentence and are presumed innocent of the death penalty.

*** States in bold have abolished the death penalty.
+ Has co-defendant(s) not on death row.
*States without their own death penalty law when the federal sentence was imposed. Illinois, Maryland, Connecticut, and Virginia no longer have the death penalty, but the federal death sentences in each state came when the state’s death penalty was still in effect.

I think this must be satirical. It just does not seem possible. I just did a Google search [Dylann Roof pardon] it did not return anything about a Biden pardon.

The first reason I thought the story BS is that Mr Roof and his family are poor white trash. Nothing for bribes=no pardon.

So, he actually hasn't pardoned/commuted any of these yet.... just "thinking about it." I swear, if he pardons Tsarnaev, he best never show his face in Boston again, ever! Or South Carolina for Dylan Roof.

When he leaves DC he'll have full time babysitting in Delaware. They will change his diaper and feed him ice cream. They will probably stop medication and escort him to the beach house occasionally to show that he's still alive. He's not going to be hanging out with the Kenyan and Big Mike in Martha's Vineyard or traveling around like all the past presidents. Statements will be released trashing Trump and accredited to the potato but we know that he's not capable of understanding what is going on around him. Maybe Cornpop will make a visit and get revenge?

Somebody needs to sue for an injunction until he can prove mentally competent. The entire world knows he isn't choosing the recipients of theses pardons. He's senile and will sign any piece of paper they tell him to sign.

It's being reported on Breitbart... Not satirical at all.

He is not going to pardon the death row inmates. Just commute their sentences to life.

He has commuted thousands. Pardoned more than almost all other Presidents put together since 1900...

Motherfucker...

PS. It's not him. It is his utterly corrupt handlers and/or Hunter and Jill who are probably cashing checks as fast as they can... of course not that Hunter has a pardon... he can do whatever he wants! Guess they should release those Hunter Laptop images now... of him raping children. It's not like they can do anything about him... so might as well make it public domain.

No way he will pardon Roof.

Should Roof be pardoned?, no, but he probably is border line IQ functional and may be deserving of some indulgence for that. He does not fill any DEI box though and for that and his crime he will die.

Let’s not totally blame Biden.

Let’s blame the fact that in most cases these sentences should be carried out within a fortnight of the sentence if not directly from the court room.

The fact Tsarnaev has taken oxygen this long is appalling.

And CEO's. And Republican congressmen. And the Red Sea Pedestrians. And uppity Southern blacks who want to learn to read and vote. And Nazi's (which is really anyone they don't like). And tens of millions of Kulaks. And Sharon Tate. And congregations. And, recently, German Christmas Shoppers. Don't forget Donald Trump. Oh and 7.5 billion people who are trampling all over their precious Gaia. And who can forget "anyone who refuses to acknowledge their mental illness" when it comes to junk removal. Should I bring up people who refused to get death-vaccines? Nah... pretty sure you are familiar with that one!

Yeah... the mostly-peaceful left will kill you at the drop of a hat in retroactive abortions as long as it furthers their shining path.

But they'll empty the prisons in a second in order to make people scream "We need more Government protection" from the people they just released...

I'm completely against abortion, and against the death penalty. The government should not have the power to kill it's own citizens, period. The government, including and maybe especially the Judicial Branch, is completely corrupt and cannot be trusted. I would only accept an irreversible decision by some judge if I had any assurance that they were capable of delivering perfect justice. They're not. In fact, they suck. This is way, way, way more power than they should have, and frankly the death penalty may be the most arrogant and illogical decision a government functionary can make. Killing out in the field, all day long. Killing once the person is no longer a threat and in a cage, never.

That isn't to say some people don't need kilt at all. They do, but once they're captured it is simply too complete and perfect of a sentence for men to carry out. That is literally the reason that when the death sentence is handed they used to say, "And may God have mercy on your soul". The fact of the matter is that many people find faith in prison, and probably die being forgiven for their sins. As a Christian I am ideologically and spiritually committed to saving as many humans as possible, and my reasoning is solid.

It's not like I don't understand or sympathize with people who are for the death penalty, or I'm going to protest or argue for the animals who are given this sentence, but innocent people have been put to death, and that contravenes a thousand years of Western justice and juris prudence.

Agree to disagree.

Agree to disagree.

OK. I'll agree to disagree. And I do. I'm all for the preservation of life when it comes to the unborn (i.e. "anti abortion"). Yes, everyone has a right to life, to be born and to grow up. But, once grown, there are some things one can do with their life (evil, horrific, horrible things etc.) that justify the "forfeiture" of that life. Ask yourself this question: "Are there crimes and circumstances for which the 'forfeiture of life' is that necessary and sufficient measure of justice?" If you believe no, then I can see you being opposed to capital punishment. If you believe yes, then you must believe in capital punishment. And, as you state above, "This isn't to say some people don't need kilt at all. They do." And I agree, there. They absolutely do. But, if not the govt. then who? As you'll see below, perhaps we leave the decision of to whom it applies and to whom it's administered to a jury of the peers. It is only then the govt's job to carry out the jury's order.

I also agree that the system is often corrupt and that people are unjustly condemned to death. But does that mean we should stop the entire practice because of that? Stop the practice, "if it saves one innocent life?" Gee, where have I heard that before?

Not having capital punishment is a denial of justice to the victims of the crimes committed that warrant it. It's all about justice for the victims and their survivors. Nothing to do with deterrence or recidivism or any of those things. It is, simply. that just punishment for the crime committed. And, yes, I can be a forgiving person. I can forgive the BG that murders my family member. But what I can't do is absolve responsibility for what they've done. They still have to pay for it.

All that said, I do think there are some things we can do to help reduce the corruption. For example, I really take issue with the way prosecutors seek the death penalty for "select" defendants. I would almost rather go back to the days where capital punishment would be automatic, tied to
the offense and the circumstances. But I guess that wouldn't work, these days. Still, I think the decision to seek should be out of the hands of the prosecutor. There could be options built into the laws that say, "This particular level of offense is eligible for CP" and the jury would have to determine if the offense met that threshold. Yes, the prosecutor still can select the particular charge to file (i.e. selecting the punishment) but, hopefully, there a much stricter standards for proving capital offenses than there are now.

Hecouldgoalltheway · Saturday at 12:53 PM

I can see both sides. Imagine the justice system that was weaponized against Trump condemns you to death.

Also, if some piece of trash tortures and murders your loved one.....

If we could have faith in the system, then I'd be the most pro-capital punishment person on the planet, and I kinda am.

I also have next to zero faith in the judicial system currently, so.... I just don't know.

I also have next to zero faith in the judicial system currently, so.... I just don't know.

Which is why I'd much prefer it be in the hands of the jury than any of the others involved in the system. And why the structure of laws should be modified to make certain supreme offenses eligible for it. Not "automatic," but "eligible." And then have the jury decide to impose it or not

There are obvious problems with that too, though I mostly agree. If you watch the Derrick Chauvin trial, you can see how a perfectly innocent man can be crushed by a jury. If a corrupt judge and prosecutor won't allow evidence to be discussed, you can easily convict an innocent man. In his case, I believe his defense was actually complicit. It's the best chance you have of a fair trial, but can still be twisted against you easily. I still think we may have the best system worldwide, unless we do trals by combat. I can imagine a scenario that would make that better, and you can watch it every Saturday night ON PPV FOR ONLY $59.99!!

OK. I'll agree to disagree. And I do. I'm all for the preservation of life when it comes to the unborn (i.e. "anti abortion"). Yes, everyone has a right to life, to be born and to grow up. But, once grown, there are some things one can do with their life (evil, horrific, horrible things etc.) that justify the "forfeiture" of that life. Ask yourself this question: "Are there crimes and circumstances for which the 'forfeiture of life' is that necessary and sufficient measure of justice?" If you believe no, then I can see you being opposed to capital punishment. If you believe yes, then you must believe in capital punishment. And, as you state above, "This isn't to say some people don't need kilt at all. They do." And I agree, there. They absolutely do. But, if not the govt. then who? As you'll see below, perhaps we leave the decision of to whom it applies and to whom it's administered to a jury of the peers. It is only then the govt's job to carry out the jury's order.

I also agree that the system is often corrupt and that people are unjustly condemned to death. But does that mean we should stop the entire practice because of that? Stop the practice, "if it saves one innocent life?" Gee, where have I heard that before?

Not having capital punishment is a denial of justice to the victims of the crimes committed that warrant it. It's all about justice for the victims and their survivors. Nothing to do with deterrence or recidivism or any of those things. It is, simply. that just punishment for the crime committed. And, yes, I can be a forgiving person. I can forgive the BG that murders my family member. But what I can't do is absolve responsibility for what they've done. They still have to pay for it.

All that said, I do think there are some things we can do to help reduce the corruption. For example, I really take issue with the way prosecutors seek the death penalty for "select" defendants. I would almost rather go back to the days where capital punishment would be automatic, tied to
the offense and the circumstances. But I guess that wouldn't work, these days. Still, I think the decision to seek should be out of the hands of the prosecutor. There could be options built into the laws that say, "This particular level of offense is eligible for CP" and the jury would have to determine if the offense met that threshold. Yes, the prosecutor still can select the particular charge to file (i.e. selecting the punishment) but, hopefully, there a much stricter standards for proving capital offenses than there are now.

I'm not against the death penalty because I'm a leftist, feel any empathy for criminals, or that I am against killing humans in general. I'm not, I don't, and I'm all for it. I do not deny some people need killing, nor would not hesitate to kill anyone who needed killing.

I'm against the death penalty administered by government based on purely libertarian and religious grounds. The arguments against are deep and vast and bolstered by mountains of evidence, which I would be happy to discuss with you across a fire with a whisky in my hand, but I'm too whipped to write it all out...

Not saying there aren't good arguments for it, or that I could change your mind, but I'm also not going to write a book or start a group.

Or, that same jury can "acquit" him. Did you ever see the Paul Newman movie, 'The Verdict?" Granted that was a civil matter and Newman's client is the "plaintiff," but... The jury has one huge tool over which the judiciary has very little control, if any... "Jury Nullification." I, personally saw this in action when serving as a juror myself. Long story short, a biker gang got into a brawl and the complaint was that a "prodigal son" in that biker gang that was just visiting got into a one-on-one with a resident member, resulting in that member being cut very badly with a box cutter blade. The "prodigal son" defendant was arrested and charged with 6 different assault and weapons charges. They had all kinds of evidence (investigators found the blade in the grass, the blood on the clothing, the blood on the defendant's person, etc. etc.

Still, We, the jury acquitted him of all the original felony charges, but convicted only one one simple "misdemeanor" charge (that was added to the indictment after the trial had started - they knew they were in trouble). That charge was "simple assault," with the stipulation that there was "mutual consent" between them to start the brawl, reducing the penalty to the classic 30 days in jail. He had, probably, already served it pre-trial. The problem being, The prosecutor was totally incapable of "connecting the dots." He put out a whole ton of evidence and expected us, via "reverse jury nullification" to connect the evidence and reach guilty verdicts. Unh-Uh. Yes, a blade was found at the scene, and yes, it had the defendant's blood on it (the defense even stipulated to that). But did it have the defendant's "fingerprints" on it? Was the "victim's" blood on it? It was found in the grass around the brawl site. But did anyone witness the defendant actually possess the weapon, or draw it from their person? No such testimony. Did the two brawlers go into the brawl "clean" (no injuries) and stay "isolated" for the whole duration of the brawl, with both coming out injured? Apparently not, and they even flew in a witness to testify as to what happened in the brawl. He confirmed that several members attempted to intervene in the brawl. They were never totally isolated.

Hence, dots not connected, and the defendant was acquitted of all the felony charges. Only the one small "simple assault" charge where we determined there was "mutual consent."

Point being, the right jury can see through all the BS and make the right call. Just like they did in NYC with Daniel Penny. Whodathunk that one?

Ok, again, Derrick Chauvin committed no crime and has been sitting in max security prison for years.
A jury convicted Trump of 34 felonies for midemeanor crimes that were beyond the statutes of limitations, and not in the jurisdiction of the authority of the prosecutor, and on and on. Juries put innocent people in prison all the time. The jury only gets to see the evidence that the judge allows. When DNA hit the scene in the early 90's, as you may remember, we discovered that these DA's had, (in literally thousands of cases) fabricated and planted evidence, created false witnesses, and a dozen other dirty tactics. Many of those successful prosecutors went on to become judges themselves, fuck man, one of them became the vice president of the united states of America, and missed becoming president by a few million votes. A jury can only process the information they are given.

a bit OT but re evidence manip by prosecution. rodney king-cnn (?) ran the whole tape that the jury saw 1x. after that it was shown publicly heavily edited. if you saw the orig,you wonder why the cops didn't just back off and empty their guns into the scumbag. the innocent verdict and edited film caused the usual amish riots. in OJ,they tried to frame a guilty man. george floyd evidence was buried to get a popular guilty verdict to appease the amish. daniel penny and rittenhouse are lucky they got rational juries. the whole system is corrupt on both sides going either way.

Per Newsmax's "Wake Up America" show, this morning, FJB has commuted 37 more Federal Death Sentences, but with 3 exceptions.

He did *not* commute Tsarnaev, Roof, and Bowers. So these three still face the Death Penalty.

So a jury of their peers decides they get the death penalty, according to constitutional law, then a guy with late stage dementia and alzheimers gets to say..."ahh, no, don't kill these guys, but go ahead and kill those guys".

I feel like this is reversible, probably unconstitutional, and likely an easy target for a discrimination lawsuit that can see it all nullified.

Well, let's put it this way. Being a former resident of the PRNJ. I'm used to stuff like this. The State did, in fact, re-instate the death penalty in the 90's after SCOTUS permitted it with revisions. And several criminals were sentenced to death by lethal injection. There was even a lethal injection room set up in the NJ State Prison in Trenton (a horrible place... trust me I had to take a couple of EMS calls there).

The problem being, the NJ State Supreme Court was (and is) made up by a super majority of Ultra Liberal justices. And every death sentence brought to them was "nullified" and converted to Life, rendering Capital Punishment "moot" in the PRNJ. Eventually, it was abolished legally. The sentencing guidelines for Murder in the PRNJ (the 1st degree crime) is now 33 years to Life without Parole. It is the only crime in the PRNJ (to my knowledge) that has its own sentencing guideline. All other crimes follow the standard guidelines (4th degree crime = 18 mos max; 3rd degree 3-5; 2nd degree 5-10; and 1st degree 10-20).

That's not jury nullification, it's reasonable doubt. Jury nullification is when the evidence clearly shows he guilty but the jury doesn't think it should be illegal.

Or, if the evidence (or lack thereof) clearly shows he is "not guilty" but the Jury still convicts the defendant anyway for whatever reason. This is what I was referring to in re: the trial where I was a juror. I said, "Reverse Jury Nullification." The prosecutor was hoping that we would not recognize that he did not "connect the dots" in re: the evidence presented and would convict anyway, based on our emotions about crime, the condition of the evidence (i.e. bloody clothes, box cutter blade, the injuries the victim sustained, etc. etc.) and even though all of that created sufficient "reasonable doubt." He was hoping we'd ignore all of that and convict anyway. Thus, "reverse" jury nullification.

I'm pretty sure we all know the difference between "Pardon" and "Commutation." At least, I do.

What some people may not know is how commuting a death sentence to life changes the justice served to the victims of that crime. The victim's survivors no longer have their loved one. There is that deficit in their lives and it will always be there. At least, with a death sentence, there is an equivalent element of justice (assuming, of course, the crime warrants a death sentence). Yes, it's just as horrible for the defendant's survivors, but that responsibility lies solely upon the defendant. If the defendant didn't do what they did, they would still be around for their loved ones. However, if the death sentence is commuted to life, the victim's survivors will still have that deficit in their lives, but the defendant's survivors won't. The defendant's survivors can still visit their loved one in prison, and communicate via mail, telephone, etc. The victim's survivors won't ever be able to do that. Ever.

Sorry, but that's a travesty of justice IMHO. If we are to have the death penalty at all, then we should use it where warranted/justified and let that level of justice be served to the victims of those crimes. Yes, I know the system is corrupt, but that doesn't mean we should cease the practice. We need to fix and route out the corruption. We need to ensure that the victims of these crimes (and their survivors) get the justice they deserve.

I think this might be the first thing Biden has ever done that I agree with, though I'd much rather see the laws changed than commutations being just handed out at the 11th hour of a lame duck presidency.

I oppose the death penalty because I don't think it should be up to anyone but God regarding when its time for someone to leave this Earth. Even in prison, God can use us to accomplish his will, and humanity plays god when we interfere with that. These folks will still die in prison, so no one is being put in any danger by the communtations. This may be the only morally decent thing Biden has done during his presidency.

Well, it's obvious some folks don't know the difference between commutation and pardoning given this thread title. Personally, I support the death penalty, but do not support death row. Everyone deserves a fair trial and an appeal, but after that, no more chances and no death row. Straight to the afterlife. There's no fucking reason why someone who's suppose to be executed should be alive for the next 15 years. As far as life sentences go, putting aside the fact our tax money is keeping them alive, I have another problem with it. More often than not, prisoners who are serving life sentences in state or federal prisons are living better lives than when they were free. It's not like Russian prisons where the inmates are forced to leave their cells and work. American prisons (especially federal prisons) are like a vacation spot. You can literally buy video game consoles and TVs through the commissary and just chill in your cell. I'm not calling for prisoners to be tortured, but I would be pretty pissed off if someone killed one of my family members and they are living a chill and easy life in prison for life meanwhile my loved one is gone forever. Doesn't sound like justice to me. I get that both life and death sentences do accomplish the same thing. Removes bad people from society for good, but I agree with the whole justice not being served and the family of those affected don't get closure.

If any of you think there is ANY chance that the "Justice System" is not seriously corrupted or think somehow you can one day setup your own "justice system" that will not quickly become corrupt, you are dreaming.

Spend some time with Civil rights groups that work on innocence projects and dealing with bad LE and bad judges and such, and you'll quickly want the government to have as little power as possible.

I'm completely opposed to the death penalty because the "justice system" top to bottom cannot be trusted.
Especially after that stupid state supreme court ruled that essentially "being proven innocent is no reason to overturn a sentence" B.S. and the SC ruling that well tough luck if you are innocent if we don't want to let you have more appeals, that's just too bad for you.

And then there is the issue with the Uniform Hangers and their evil.
And that you know if you are dark skinned you can do all the crime you want to light skinned folks and god forbid any of them should try to stop you.

Now if you are in the middle of doing some crime or doing something horrible to somebody and you get killed, well that's kind of on you.
If you do something horrible to somebody's kin or friends and they go a bit crazy and deal some old testament style justice, well you know... maybe you should have turned yourself in for safety and been nice and protected in the jail...
