Two men sitting on death row refuse to sign the paperwork that would have their death sentences commuted to life imprisonment, which President Joe Biden ordered. The two men filed emergency motions to block their commutations, as they said such an action would deprive them of efforts to prove their innocence.
...
"The defendant never requested commutation. The defendant never filed for commutation."
WTF, Biden.
My understanding of this (which is based on very little) was that Biden wanted to commute all Death Row sentences, because he opposes the death penalty.
If so, it's easy to see how the mix-up could happen.
