> president joe biden announced monday that he is taking 37 people off federal death row to serve out life sentences behind bars  a decision that leaves only three federal prisoners awaiting execution when president-elect donald trump takes office next month. > today, i am commuting the sentences of 37 of the 40 individuals on federal death row to life sentences without the possibility of parole, biden announced in a statement released monday. > notably, the president did not commute the sentences of three people whose crimes included mass shootings or acts of terrorism: dzhokhar tsarnaev, one of two brothers responsible for the deadly boston marathon bombing in 2013; dylann roof, a white nationalist who massacred nine people at a historically black church in charleston, south carolina, in 2015; and robert bowers, who killed 11 worshippers at pittsburghs tree of life synagogue in 2018. > make no mistake: i condemn these murderers, grieve for the victims of their despicable acts, and ache for all the families who have suffered unimaginable and irreparable loss, biden said in his statement. but guided by my conscience and my experience as a public defender, chairman of the senate judiciary committee, vice president, and now president, i am more convinced than ever that we must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level. in good conscience, i cannot stand back and let a new administration resume executions that i halted. based biden saving the n!ggers and letting trump kill 2 whites and a sandskin
