In a legal gambit, two death row inmates are trying to avoid the commutation of their sentences by President Joe Biden.
Last month, Biden sprinkled commutations on a number of federal inmates who had been sentenced to death. The commutations did not mean that the inmates involved were free, only that their sentences would be changed to life without the possibility of parole.
However, two inmates want to cling to their death row status because they think it might help in their efforts to have their sentences overturned, according to NBC.
On Dec. 30, Shannon Agofsky and Len Davis, who are both locked up at the U.S. Penitentiary in Terre Haute, Indiana, filed paperwork to avoid the change in their status.
