2 Federal Inmates Refuse To Accept Clemency After Joe Biden Commutes Death Sentences

Two federal inmates, Shannon Agofsky and Len Davis, were among the 37 prisoners whose death sentences were commuted by President Joe Biden last month.

However, they have taken an unusual stance by refusing to accept the clemency that would spare them from ex*cution.

The two men, who are being held at the U.S. Penitentiary in Terre Haute, Indiana, filed emergency motions in federal court on December 30.

They are seeking to block their de*th sentences from being commuted to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Agofsky and Davis argue that accepting the commutation would hurt their chances of appealing their cases, as they maintain their innocence.

Agofsky was convicted of the 1989 murder of Oklahoma bank president Dan Short, whose body was discovered in a lake. Prosecutors claim Agofsky and his brother, Joseph, k*dnapped and k*lled Short, stealing $71,000 from his bank.

Additionally, Agofsky was convicted of k*lling fellow inmate Luther Plant in a Texas prison in 2001. A jury recommended a d*ath sentence for the crime in 2004.

Do you think they’re making the right call?
