US President-elect Donald Trump has announced his intention to “strongly” seek the death penalty for people who have committed violent crimes. He plans to resume this practice, as it was during his first term as president.
This is reported by The Guardian.
His comments came a day after incumbent US President Joe Biden commuted the death sentences of most federal inmates sentenced to the maximum penalty.
“As soon as I take office, I will direct the Department of Justice to aggressively pursue the death penalty to protect American families and children from violent rapists, murderers, and monsters. We will once again become a country of law and order,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social social network.
As noted The Guardianthe president-elect will not be able to overturn Biden’s decision, which involved 37 federal inmates on death row. In his statement, the current head of state emphasized that he “condemns these murderers, mourns the victims of their terrible crimes and sympathizes with all the families who have experienced an incredible and irreparable loss.”
Opponents of the death penalty welcomed Biden’s decision, while some in the public criticized the move.
Meanwhile, three prisoners did not receive a commutation of the sentence. It is about Robert Bowersconvicted of mass murder in the Tree of Life synagogue; Dylan Rufaconvicted of shooting at Mother Emmanuel AME Church; Dzhokhar Tsarnaevconvicted of the Boston Marathon bombing.
