Biden stops death penalty for several criminals

US President Joe Biden has commuted the sentences of dozens of people sitting on death row, meaning they will now not face the death penalty. 


These prisoners will instead serve life without the possibility of parole.  


Three notorious killers were left out of these commutations — the gunman at the 2018 shooting at Pittsburgh's Tree of Life synagogue, the perpetrator of the 2015 church massacre in Charleston, and the 2013 Boston Marathon bomber.
