A resolution condemning the commutation of the death sentence of Anthony George Battle granted by President Biden on December 23, 2024.
Sponsored By: Senator Cotton, Tom [R-AR]
Introduced
Summary
Would condemn President Biden's commutation of Anthony George Battle's death sentence. The resolution says the commutation undermines the rule of law and lists seven findings: Battle was convicted of killing his wife and sentenced to life. While imprisoned he murdered correctional officer D'Antonio Washington by bludgeoning him. Investigators reported Battle showed no remorse and the commutation is called an insult to victims. The text also notes the President said he opposed the death penalty but spared some inmates and not others for political reasons. The measure is non-binding and does not create or change laws or funding.
