Two federal death row inmates refuse Biden's commutation in continued fight to prove their innocence
Fox News
Two men who were among the 37 federal inmates on death row whose sentences were commuted to life without parole by President Biden are rejecting clemency.
The pair filed emergency motions in federal court on Dec. 30 requesting an injunction to block the change to their death sentences, saying that accepting their commutations would remove the heightened scrutiny that death penalty appeals receive.
Heightened scrutiny is a legal process in which the courts examine cases like death penalty appeals closer for errors because these cases are a matter of life or death.
