As one of his final acts as president, Joe Biden is commuting the death sentences of 37 of the federal government’s 40 death row inmates, giving them life sentences instead. These 37 men include some of the most violent killers in the United States.
One of them is Marvin Charles Gabrion II, who in 2002 was sentenced in Michigan to death for murdering 19-year-old Rachel Timmerman, whom he was also accused of sexually assaulting.
Timmerman and her 11-month-old daughter Shannon went missing two days before the teen girl was supposed to testify against Gabrion for allegedly raping her.
Timmerman’s body was later found in a lake, her mouth and eyes covered with tape, and chains locked around her body with padlocks. Gabrion had not killed Timmerman before he threw her into the lake.
Timmerman’s daughter, Shannon, has never been found.
Democrats are hailing Joe Biden’s commutation of this rapist and double murderer, as well as 36 other death row inmates, as “compassionate.“
January 20 can’t come soon enough.
