Before leaving office, former President Joe Biden commuted the sentences of several killers on death row. Now, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi wants to reverse those decisions and tell state officials to go after the death penalty for the inmates.<\/p>\n
Bondi wrote<\/a> a letter to the Department of Justice (DOJ) employees about the commutes. In the letter, she said that Biden\u2019s decision to grant the commutes \u201cundermined our justice system and subverted the rule of law.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe commutations also robbed the victims\u2019 families of the justice promised \u2014 and fought hard to achieve \u2014 by the Department of Justice,\u201d Bondi wrote. \u201cThe Department of Justice is directed to immediately commence the following actions to achieve justice for the victims\u2019 families of the 37 commuted murderers.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cExplore opportunities to provide a public forum for the victims\u2019 families to express how the commutations affected them personally,\u201d Bondi said, calling it an \u201cimportant step\u201d toward building trust and holding people accountable, Fox News reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Before leaving office, former President Joe Biden commuted the sentences of several killers on death row.
