Credited from: SALON

  • Two inmates, Shannon Agofsky and Len Davis, have rejected President Biden's clemency offer that would commute their death sentences to life imprisonment.
  • Both men argue that accepting the commutation could undermine their ongoing legal appeals and rights.
  • They filed motions to block the commutation, arguing that it poses an "undue burden" on their legal positions.
  • Historically, such rejections have occurred, highlighting a conflict between presidential clemency and individual rights.
  • Law experts note that their refusal may attract greater attention to their claims of innocence and potential legal injustices.
