Oliverio’s partner, Bryan S. Hurst, was shot & killed while on duty by Daryl Lawrence during an attempted bank robbery in Columbus, Ohio. Lawrence was sentenced to death in 2006.

Of the 37 men whose sentences were commuted, 15 are white, 15 are Black, 6 are Latino & one is Asian. They were sentenced in 16 states, including three that have abolished the death penalty. 9 are on #DeathRow because they were convicted of killing fellow federal prisoners.

#POTUS #Biden on Monday commuted the sentences of nearly all prisoners on federal #DeathRow, sparing the lives of 37 men just a month before #Trump will return to the Oval Office w/a promise to restart federal #executions.

Those affected by #Biden’s action, all of whom were convicted of murder, will serve life imprisonment w/o the possibility of parole instead of facing #execution. Only 3 men, who each carried out notorious mass killings, will remain on federal death row.
