President Joe Biden on Monday commuted the death sentences of 37 of 40 federal death row inmates. These included ruthless murderers who murdered entire families and looters who massacred innocent children.
For example, Ricardo Sanchez Jr. and Daniel Troya were convicted of brutally murdering an entire family. Palm Beach, Florida, CBS affiliate 12 News I rememberedthe two “shot and killed a mother, father, and two young children.”
The murder occurred in the early morning hours of October 13, 2006, when the family's Jeep Cherokee was stopped on the Turnpike outside Fort Pierce.
The entire family of Jose Luis Escobedo, Luis Damien Escobedo, Luis Julian Escobedo, and Yessica Güero Escobedo were shot dead and their bodies left there. Sanchez and Troya drove off in both a Dodge Ram van and Escobedo's black Jeep Cherokee.

In 2009, Daniel “Homer” Troya and Ricardo “Ricky” Sanchez Jr. were charged with involvement in the 2006 deaths of Jose “Lou” Escobedo, his wife Yesica, and their two young sons. He was convicted of auto burglary resulting in death and other felonies. Their bodies were found riddled with bullets on the side of a turnpike in Port St. Lucie, Florida.
Federal prosecutors say drug lord Danny Barrera canceled a huge drug debt and ordered the group's cocaine smuggler, Escobedo, to steal 15 kilograms of cocaine he had in his possession at the time. Prosecutors say Sanchez and Troya followed Escobedo north to the Daytona Beach area, where Jose picked up the drugs and then killed him on the turnpike.
Another death row inmate, Thomas Sanders, was convicted in 2014 of kidnapping and murdering a 12-year-old girl. F.B.I. I remembered In a press release at the time of his sentencing, his crimes were described as follows:
Mr. Sanders met Suellen Roberts, 31, in the summer of 2010 when Mr. Roberts rented a storage unit at the Las Vegas warehouse where Mr. Sanders worked. Roberts and Sanders began dating, and about two months later Roberts agreed to take his 12-year-old daughter, Lexis, on a trip with Sanders to a wildlife park near the Grand Canyon over Labor Day weekend. On his way back to Nevada after a three-day trip, Sanders exited Interstate 40 in a remote part of the Arizona desert, shot Suellen Roberts in the head and forced Lexis Roberts into his car. imprisoned her.
Sanders drove across the country for several days before killing Lexis Roberts in a wooded area in Catahoula Parish, Louisiana. Evidence at trial showed that Sanders shot Lexis Roberts four times, cut her throat and left her body in the woods, where a hunter discovered her body on October 8, 2010.
…
At trial, the jury heard a recorded confession in which Mr. Sanders admitted to killing the mother and daughter.
Another murderer whose sentence was commuted by Biden was Philadelphia drug lord Kaboni Savage. The local NBC affiliate in Philadelphia recalled that Savage was “convicted of murdering 12 people, including six members of a family killed in a brutal incendiary bombing.”
He further added:
The family Savage was firebombed in 2004 belonged to Eugene Coleman, his former confidante turned FBI informant. In retaliation, Savage killed Coleman's mother, his cousin, his young son, and three other children. Coleman was in prison at the time.
Savage, who was also incarcerated at the time of the incendiary bombing, directed the attack through telephone calls and prison visits, and communicated with other inmates through prison plumbing pipes.
The only federal inmate still on death row is Dylann Roof, who killed nine black parishioners at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina in 2015. Robert Bowers, who killed 11 Jews in the 2018 Tree of Life Synagogue shooting. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is one of the Islamic terrorist brothers behind the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings.
