Death Row Inmates File to Block Biden's Clemency Commutations

Credited from: NEWSWEEK

  • Two inmates, Shannon Agofsky and Len Davis, have petitioned a US court to block their clemency from President Joe Biden.
  • They argue that they did not request the commutation, which could jeopardize their ongoing legal appeals.
  • The clemencies were part of a wider action by Biden, commuting the sentences of 37 federal death row inmates on December 23.
  • Experts believe their challenges may not succeed, as presidential commutations do not require inmate consent.
  • Agofsky and Davis also fear losing legal support tied to their death row status. Both have requested a co-counsel to help with their case against the commutations.
