This resolution expresses the sense of the Senate condemning President Biden's commutation of the death sentence for Anthony George Battle on December 23, 2024. The Senate asserts that this action undermined the rule of law and deprived victims of justice. The resolution details Battle's criminal history, including his conviction for murdering his wife and, while serving a life sentence, the subsequent murder of correctional officer D'Antonio Washington. It notes Battle's reported lack of remorse for Washington's death, stating he was "happy" about it. Furthermore, the Senate views the commutation as a reprehensible insult to Battle's victims. It suggests President Biden's decision, which included 36 other commutations but excluded the "most controversial" death row inmates, was motivated by politics, not principled opposition to the death penalty.
