S.Res. 24 — A resolution condemning the commutation of the death sentence of Anthony George Battle granted by President Biden on December 23, 2024.

This section states the sense of the Senate that President Biden undermined the rule of law and robbed victims of justice by commuting the death sentence of Anthony George Battle on December 23, 2024. It further states that Battle was convicted of murdering his wife, a U.S. Marine, and sentenced to life imprisonment; that he murdered correctional officer D’Antonio Washington while incarcerated; that Battle expressed no remorse; that the commutation insults Battle’s victims; that Biden’s stated opposition to the death penalty was politically motivated, as evidenced by his refusal to commute sentences of three other inmates; and that the Senate condemns the commutation.
