Here Are The 37 Brutal Murderers Joe Biden Let Off Death Row:

A rundown of the gruesome murders committed by the death-row inmates getting commutations by President Joe Biden.

Two days before Christmas, in the waning days of his presidency, Joe Biden commuted the death sentences of 37 out of 40 federal prisoners to a life sentence. Only by hearing what they had done can we begin to grapple with their offense. Many of them were responsible for gruesome murders of multiple persons:

Jorge Avila-Torrez “sexually assaulted and stabbed to death two girls — Laura Hobbs, 8, and Krystal Tobias, 9 — who had been riding their bicycles in their neighborhood in a suburb north of Chicago in 2005. Four years later, he strangled naval officer Amanda Snell, 20, inside her barrack in Arlington, Virginia.” He subsequently admitted to these crimes. A year after that, he kidnapped, raped, and strangled a woman in a secluded area of northern Virginia, leaving her for dead by the side of a road. She survived and reported the crime to police, finally leading to his arrest and conviction.

Anthony Battle “murdered an Atlanta prison guard with a hammer in 1994 while serving a life sentence for murdering his wife, a US Marine, in 1987.” Battle confessed that he killed the guard because he was “tired of being bossed around” and wanted to kill the first guard he saw. He showed no remorse. At Battle’s trial, three prison guards from the facility testified that Battle’s actions emboldened other prisoners to threaten staff because “without the death penalty, all prisoners … believe there is nothing that can happen to them.”

Marvin Gabrion murdered 19-year-old Rachel Timmerman before she could testify in a 1997 rape case against him. He handcuffed her, covered her eyes and mouth with duct tape, wrapped her in chains, weighted her down with concrete blocks, and threw her into a lake alive. He also murdered Rachel’s 11-month-old daughter, whose body has never been found (Gabrion denies that he murdered her). The authorities were willing to take the death penalty off the table if Gabrion would only reveal where the 11-month-old’s body was. “Prosecutors say Gabrion is also responsible for the deaths of three men who have been missing since about the time of Timmerman’s murder: Robert Allen, a mentally disabled man from Kent County; Wayne Davis, who allegedly witnessed the sexual assault on Timmerman; and John Weeks, who allegedly lured Timmerman and her daughter to Gabrion before Timmerman’s murder.”

Brandon Basham and Chadrick Fulks in 2002 carjacked, kidnapped, and killed two women, 44-year-old Alice Donovan of South Carolina and 19-year-old Samantha Burns of West Virginia, in the midst of a 17-day crime spree after they escaped a county jail in western Kentucky.

Iouri Mikhel and Jurijus Kadamovas, Soviet-born immigrants, kidnapped five Russian and Georgian immigrants (four men, one woman, all but one between the ages of 29 and 39, the other 58) over a four-month period starting in 2001. They lured their victims with offers of business deals. They received more than $1 million in ransom but killed their victims by strangulation anyway and dumped their bodies in a reservoir near Yosemite National Park. Since being imprisoned, Mikhel and Kadamovas have hatched several escape plans.

Thomas Sanders in 2010 killed a woman and her 12-year-old daughter. Sanders (53) was dating Suellen Roberts, 31. He invited her and her daughter Lexis to go on a three-day trip to a wildlife park near the Grand Canyon. “As they were returning to Nevada, Sanders pulled off Interstate 40 … and shot Suellen Roberts in the head” and kidnapped Lexis Roberts. “Sanders drove several days across the country before he murdered Lexis Roberts in a wooded area in Catahoula Parish, Louisiana. … Sanders shot Lexis four times, cut her throat, and left her body in the woods. … At trial, the jury heard a recorded confession in which Sanders admitted killing the mother and daughter.”

Alejandro Umaña in 2007 fatally shot two brothers, Ruben Garcia Salinas and Manuel Garcia Salinas, in a North Carolina restaurant. “Umana, a member of a gang, was having dinner at a Greensboro restaurant when he and two other patrons who did not belong to the gang ‘exchanged words.’ Prosecutors said Umana then pulled a semi-automatic pistol and shot the two men in the restaurant.”

Daniel Troya and Ricardo Sanchez in 2006 stopped a car on the Florida Turnpike and shot to death an entire family: Jose Luis Escobedo and his wife Yessica along with their sons, Luis Julian, 4, and Luis Damian, 3, both of whom died in their mother’s arms. Their bodies were found in the grass alongside Florida’s Turnpike. The murders were motivated by a drug-debt involving Jose.

Edward Fields, a former Oklahoma state prison guard, in 2003 killed a married couple, Charles and Shirley Chick, at a campground in Ouachita National Forest simply for the sport of it. “He scouted the couple at the campground in a homemade sniper suit and shot them with a rifle.”
