Parents react to Biden's commutation of death sentence for man who killed their son

[@gregleach5833]

My question is why was this killer still alive to have his sentence changed anyway . It was 20 years ago and he should’ve already been carried out long before now .

[@011keepers]

Death sentence cases are long and tedious

[@ZeroChaos80]

Because they have appeals and if the legal system were expedient, he would have exhausted them all and been out of here a couple of years into his sentence. But the legal system is nothing but an endless money suck on the rest of the people who know how to live within the bounds of a moral society.

Turn whatever brain you have on...How is it an insult, "To the families"? The murderers are going to die in prison. They are and will be locked up for the rest of their lives. They are still being punished. Who cares if they die next week or in thirty years? You think they're happy-being locked away. "Life" in prison is worse than "death." If you had any understanding of facts, you'd know this is a worse/tougher sentence. When you're dead there's no more punishment-when you're alive-every day is punishment-suffering. And, in actuality, it has nothing to do with the families. It doesn't affect their lives.

[@jayceecee8651]

I wish people would drop that whole "he pardoned Hunter because he's a parent" line. It's utter nonsense. He did it for self serving reasons and lied about it.

[@dalehager3911]

The Death Penalty is not there to give peace to the murdered police officer's partner or anyone else. It's there to administer justice, period. And for those who say what about the Commandment "You shall not kill?" Well, the actual translation is " You shall not Murder" If you are against the Death Penalty for religious reasons; this is what God say's about it in Romans 13:4, "For he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not carry the sword in vain. He is God's servant, an agent of retribution to the wrongdoer."

[@janellevans878]

While this change may seem to be letting him off. However, a life sentence can be more harsh than death. Because the prison will never be in the world and have to watch the world pass him by. Also, it makes it cheaper to house them and denys the prisoners extra privileges, including access to law libraries.

@annrlackey9615 When people are sentenced to death row, all kinds of perks kick in to be fair. It is very expensive and heartbreaking. Also, it allows for increased risk of setting aside the conviction. When I realized how much it costs to keep people on deathrow I stopped being for the death penalty. Now I'm for life sentences because it's cheaper for the state. And keeping them locked up more harsh. No choice of clothing, food or many things.
