## Summary

**Would condemn President Biden's commutation of Marvin Charles Gabrion II's death sentence.** It would say the commutation undermined the rule of law and robbed victims of justice. It would note Gabrion killed 19-year-old Rachel Timmerman two days before she was to testify and was the prime suspect in other disappearances and murders, including Timmerman's 11-month-old daughter and two potential witnesses. It would call the commutation a reprehensible insult to victims and argue Biden's refusal to commute three controversial inmates shows politics, not principle.
