President Joe Biden announced Monday that he is commuting the sentences of 37 of 40 federal, death-row inmates.
The move converts their punishments to life imprisonment just weeks before President-elect Donald Trump, who is a proponent of capital punishment, takes office, according to the Associated Press.
The three federal inmates still facing execution are Dylann Roof, who in 2015 killed nine black members of Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina; 2013 Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev; and Robert Bowers, who fatally shot 11 congregants at Pittsburgh’s Tree of life Synagogue in 2018, the wire service also reports.
Among the 37 convicted killers are those who slayed police and military officers.
