Posted • January 8, 2025: In one of the greatest displays of weakness in what was an administration that has lacked a spine for its entirety, Joe Biden commuted the sentences of 37 federal inmates from death to life in prison on December 23rd. Biden, an opponent of the federal death penalty, gave this Christmas gift to some of the worst offenders in the federal prison system to prevent the incoming Trump administration from resuming federal executions. Biden had put a moratorium on federal executions in 2021. Biden faced significant criticism for the cowardly move, especially from some of the victim's families. One of President Joe Biden’s last legal obscenities just got worse. A double murderer, whose death sentence was commuted to life in prison, is now asking a court to let him go free entirely on the grounds that the solitary confinement he’s experienced for the past five years amounts to legally sanctioned “torture.”

Maybe his victims’ families might have something to say about what that word means. According to WBTW in Florence, South Carolina, convicted killer Brandon Council has filed a motion in federal court to get out of jail free after Biden spared him the death penalty along with 36 other inmates on federal death row. Since November 2019, the 38-year-old been held in solitary at Indiana’s Federal Correctional Institution, Terre Haute, according to the New York Post. Now, it’s not enough that he’s escaped the executioner. He wants to be freed on “compassionate release” — a status normally reserved for “seriously ill or disabled patients who are incarcerated,” WBTW reported. “The petitioner’s subjection to torture is the subsequent result of the petitioner’s sentence to death, however, the additional punishment of solitary confinement which is the cause of the psychological harm is in no manner statutorily authorized, mandated, or required by the petitioner’s sentence to death,” Council declared in a motion in the U.S. District Court of Florence, WBTW reported.
