Tsarnaev was convicted of all 30 charges against him, including conspiracy and use of a weapon of mass destruction and the killing of Massachusetts Institute of Technology Police Officer Sean Collier during the getaway attempt. Prosecutors said the brothers carried out the attack to punish the U.S. for wars in Muslim countries.

A New England man who was on death row after he “senselessly killed” and was indicted for sending bomb threats to the home of former President George H. W. Bush is on President Biden’s federal death row commutation list.

President Joe Biden commuted the sentences of all but three inmates on federal death row to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, Robert Bowers and Dylann Roof were the only three prisoners on federal death row whose sentences were not commuted Monday.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden announced Monday that he is commuting the sentences of 37 of the 40 people on federal death row, converting their punishments to life imprisonment mere weeks before President-elect Donald Trump, an outspoken proponent of expanding capital punishment, takes office.

Less than a month before Trump takes office, Biden removed 37 people from death row who were all convicted of murder charges

The move spares the lives of people convicted in killings, including the slayings of police and military officers, people on federal land and those involved in deadly bank robberies or drug deals.

Trump said relatives of victims are angry that Biden spared the lives of some of the “worst killers in our country,” including inmates who killed police and military officers.

The commutation decision falls short of Biden’s original, and unprecedented, broader 2020 campaign promise to seek to entirely eliminate federal capital punishment, and Monday’s announcement leaves in place three death sentences for some of the most notorious killers in recent U.S. history.
