US President Joe Biden on Monday commuted the death sentence of 37 people to life imprisonment. Donald Trump did not like this decision. Opposing this decision, he said that as soon as I take oath, I will order the Justice Department to continue giving death penalty to protect American families from rapists, murderers and monsters. We will strengthen law and order in the country again. Let us tell you that President Joe Biden had banned the death penalty. However, Trump has talked about starting this punishment again. In America, often the President reduces or pardons the sentence of some people by using special power before the end of his term. Biden also used these powers to reduce the sentence of 37 people. If the President once reduces or pardons someone’s sentence, it cannot be changed. Relatives of the deceased are saddened by Biden’s decision – Trump
Trump wrote on the social media platform that on hearing the exploits of these convicts, it will not be believed that they have done this. The relatives of the deceased are saddened by the decision of the Biden administration. They cannot believe it. On the other hand, the White House had said on this matter that President Biden supports the death penalty only for mass murders related to terrorism and hate. The statement issued by Biden also said that we express our condolences to the victim families who suffered, but now this decision cannot be taken back. Many people praised Biden
According to the Justice Department, till December 13, Joe Biden has pardoned 65 people during his tenure as President, while reducing the sentence of 1,634 prisoners. Many people of civil society have praised Biden for this decision and called him courageous. Two weeks ago, Biden had announced the reduction of the sentence of 1500 prisoners. All these prisoners were released from jail during the Corona epidemic and were under house arrest. Apart from these, he pardoned the sentence of 39 criminals who were not involved in violent crime. Biden also pardoned his son Hunter’s sentence
Earlier, Joe Biden also pardoned his son Hunter Biden’s sentence. Hunter Biden was facing punishment for illegal possession of guns and tax evasion. Regarding pardoning his son’s sentence, Joe Biden said that I have full faith in law and order, but politics has made it dirty. This is a failure of the justice system. Any sensible person looking at Hunter’s case would know that he was targeted only because he is my son.
