Business leaders and families of murder victims urge Biden to commute federal death row sentences
- Business leaders and families of murder victims urge Biden to commute federal death row sentences - Advocates fear Trump will ramp up federal executions upon taking office
The article from MSN discusses how business leaders, along with families of murder victims, are urging President Joe Biden to commute the sentences of those on federal death row. This call to action comes in light of Biden's campaign promise to abolish the death penalty. The plea is supported by a letter from over 300 business leaders and investors, highlighting the moral and ethical issues surrounding capital punishment. Additionally, the families of the victims argue that the death penalty does not bring closure or justice, and instead, they advocate for life imprisonment without parole as a more humane and just alternative. The initiative reflects a broader movement towards reevaluating the use of the death penalty in the United States, focusing on its inefficacy, cost, and moral implications.
