Joe Biden gives his life to 37 U.S. death sentences

The outgoing American president, Joe Biden, has pardoned 37 of the 40 federal convicts in the United States.

When less than a month is left by the end of the mandate, the head of the White House took advantage of the presidential pardons to meet and this request by activists who oppose capital punishment in the US.

These excuses are in a line with the mortorium my administration ruled on federal executions, exempting cases of terrorism or mass killings based on hatred”, the president stresses in a statement.

Among those who took advantage are convicts of murders of other prisoners, of murder during bank robbery and of a prison guard. Make no mistake, punish these killers and weep for the victims by sharing the pain of families who have experienced irreversible losses”, Biden adds. Finally, it explains that his attitude is to remove the death penalty from the law.
