President Biden's commutation of Brandon Council's death sentence for the 2017 double murder of a bank teller and her coworker has sparked outrage among the victim's family, who say they were denied mercy by the convicted killer.
The family of a South Carolina bank teller gunned down during a 2017 robbery is furious after President Biden commuted her killer’s death sentence just days before Christmas. Now Donna Major’s family is left reeling through the holiday season, rattled by the news that the convicted criminal had been shown the mercy he refused to show others. “I was angry. I’m still angry.
I am upset that this is even happening, that one man can make this decision without even talking to the victims, without any regard for what we’ve been through, what we’re going through, and completely hurt, frustrated and angry,” Major’s daughter Heather Turner said Tuesday on “Fox & Friends.” “She was shown no mercy at all. This man walked into the bank, never said two words to her. Shot her three times in total. He went and shot her coworker, Katie Skeen as well, who was totally defenseless and unaware of anything happening,” Major’s husband, Danny Jenkins, added during the show. Career criminal Brandon Council was among 37 inmates whose federal death row sentence was commuted to life in prison by President Biden earlier this week. Surveillance video from the 2017 double murder shows Council walking into CresCom Bank in Conway, South Carolina, approach Major and speak to her briefly before pulling out a gun and shooting her multiple times. Brandon Council was among 37 inmates whose federal death row sentence was commuted to life in prison by President Biden earlier this week, saying, “I am commuting the sentences of 37 of the 40 individuals on federal death row to life sentences without the possibility of parole. These commutations are consistent with the moratorium my Administration has imposed on federal executions, in cases other than terrorism and hate-motivated mass murder”
