    Two federal death row inmates refuse to sign Biden’s clemency paperwork: ‘Does not want commutation’

    https://nypost.com/2025/01/06/us-ne...-refuse-to-sign-bidens-commutation-paperwork/

    excerpt:

    Two convicted murderers spared from execution by President Biden’s controversial clemency last month have asked a federal court to let them stay on death row.

    Shannon Agofsky and Len Davis — both incarcerated at the US Penitentiary in Terre Haute, Ind. — have refused to sign paperwork that would reduce their sentences to life without parole and filed emergency motions in the state’s southern district federal court last week in an attempt to prevent Biden’s death-row reprieve from taking effect.

    At issue is the belief by Agofsky and Davis — both of whom maintain their innocence — that the 82-year-old president’s commutation puts them at a legal disadvantage as they appeal their cases, according to NBC News.

    Makes sense if you have a case to make on appeal. I don't blame them from a legal strategy standpoint, and I don't blame Biden for wanting to make sure it's well known that he does not believe in the death penalty.

    Not really the salacious story the OP thinks it is.

    Why is Biden offering clemency to Shannon Agofsky (male), who strapped a man to a chair and threw him off a bridge into water while still alive? Then Agofsky stomped another inmate in prison to death... the man died by drowning in his blood after having a crushed throat.

    It is not, but following consistency and volume of repeated narratives with propaganda promotion is a real thing you can accurately assess with a high degree of confidence.

    that's called an inductive inference
