The three Death Row sentences Joe Biden did not commute

President Joe Biden announced Monday that he is commuting the death sentences of 37 of 40 men on federal death row.

Dylann Roof, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and Robert Bowers will be the three left on the federal execution list when President-elect Donald Trump, a proponent of the death penalty, takes office on January 20.

Roof carried out the racist slayings of nine Black members of Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina in 2015. Tsarnaev was convicted of carrying out the Boston Marathon bombing that killed three and injured more than 260 in 2013. Bowers killed 11 congregants after storming the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh in 2018 in the deadliest antisemitic attack in U.S. history.

The Biden administration in 2021 announced a moratorium on federal capital punishment, a decision that suspended federal executions during Biden's term. Since Trump's victory in November's election, he has faced growing calls to follow through with his campaign promise to end the federal death penalty and prevent Trump from overseeing another spree of federal executions after he returns to office.
