Contributing sentiments towards policy:

46% : "This historic clemency action builds on the President's record of criminal justice reform," the White House said.
42% : That rationale makes it clear why Roof was left on death row, as he was the first person in the U.S. sentenced to death for a federal hate crime.
40% : Along with Roof, convicted Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 31, and Tree of Life synagogue shooter Robert Bowers, 52, are still on federal death row, according to the news outlet.
39% : Clementa Pinckney, Sharonda Singleton, Daniel Simmons Sr., Cynthia Hurd, Tywanza Sanders, Myra Thompson, Ethel Lance, Susie Jackson and DePayne Middleton-Doctor were shot and killed at the church also called Mother Emanuel AME.
24% : President Joe Biden commuted the sentences of 37 inmates on federal death row Monday, and they will now serve life in prison without the possibility of parole rather than face execution, according to the White House.
18% : Biden's decisionAlthough Roof's status was not changed, one of the reasons his execution has been delayed is a moratorium on federal executions imposed by Biden when he took office.
16% : As he prepares to leave the White House following the election of Donald Trump, Biden commuted the death row sentences to "prevent the next Administration from carrying out the execution sentences that would not be handed down under current policy and practice," the White House said.
