Original Note:
It is clear from the responses that many have interpreted Sen. Kennedy's post to mean that these people were pardoned. He does not provide the critical context that these people had their sentences changed from death to life in prison with no chance of parole. https://x.com/SenJohnKennedy/status/1871203871718318402 https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-commutes-sentences-37-federal-death-row-inmates-final-month-presidency
