'Horribly misguided': Outgoing senator blasts Biden as he heads out the door
Story by Daniel Hampton • 13h


President Joe Biden's decision to commute the death penalty sentences of 37 inmates was met with fierce backlash on Thursday from outgoing Sen. Joe Manchin.

Brandon Basham and Chadrick Fulks escaped from a Kentucky jail in 2002 and launched into a nearly three-week crime spree, abducting and killing 19-year-old Samantha Burns, a Marshall University student, from a mall in West Virginia.
 
At the time, Burns disappeared after leaving her job at JC Penney. Her remains have never been found.

Basham and Fulks admitted they killed Burns during a carjacking as part of their plea deal. They also killed another woman, Alice Donovan.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
