President Joe Biden’s announcement that he’s taking 37 people off federal death row resulted in praise from some families and deep disappointment from others.

President Biden left in place the capital punishment sentences of just three federal inmates: Robert Bowers, Dzhokar Tsarnaev and Dylann Roof.

The Democratic president also faced criticism from some anti-death penalty activists who said he didn't go far enough, including a family member of one victim, who said Biden's commutations should have extended to the other three federal inmates facing the death penalty.
