2 out of 37 people who US President Joe Biden commuted the death penalty on federal charges to life in prison in December 2024 refused to sign papers to commute the sentence. This was reported by the television channel NBC News.

According to his information, it is about Shannon Agofsky and Len Davis, who are in custody in a prison in Indiana. Both convicts have filed motions in the state's federal district court seeking an injunction against commuting their sentences because they believe that commuting their death sentences to life in prison would weaken their standing to appeal their cases. Both Agofsky and Davis intend to seek a finding of not guilty on appeal.

In late December 2024, the White House press office reported that Biden commuted the sentence for 37 of the 40 people on death row to life in prison without the possibility of release.
