President Joe Biden has granted clemency to some horrible felons but apparently saved the worst for last.
The White House announced Monday that the 82-year-old Democrat is commuting the sentences of 37 convicts on federal death row. Rather than die for ghastly crimes against children, U.S. service members, immigrants, police, prison guards, and others, the convicts will get to continue living at taxpayers' expense in prison.
Among the convicts Biden has spared from the accountability sought by judges and juries is Jorge Avila-Torrez, a "serial killer of the highest degree" who kidnapped, raped, and brutally murdered two little girls, Laura Hobbs, 8, and Krystal Tobias, 9, in 2005. The beneficiary of Biden's commutation not only subjected the girls to nightmarish sexual torture but stabbed them repeatedly — Hobbs 20 times, including in her eyes, and Tobias 11 times.
