President Joe Biden delivered a Christmas miracle on Monday, December 23rd to 37 of the 40 federal death row inmates.

He commuted their sentences to life without the possibility of parole- sparing them a future of waiting on the needle.

Donald Trump had vowed to restart federal executions but now will only have three men on which to enact his promise. All three were convicted of hate-based mass murders.

The three men who Biden did not spare include:

Robert Bowers, the Tree of Life Synagogue mass shooter.

"Bowers shot and killed 11 worshipers and wounded seven people in the deadliest antisemitic attack in U.S. history," according to CBS News.

Dylann Roof, the Mother Emanuel AME Church mass shooter, which killed nine people. Roof was the first person to be given the death penalty for a federal hate crime.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the Boston marathon bomber. Three people were killed and many more were injured in the attack.

His brother, who was also involved in the bombing, was killed in a shoot-out with police.

Most executions of death row inmates are by individual states.

Texas has, by far, executed more inmates than any other state.

The federal death penalty is reserved for severe crimes, including "treason, espionage, murder, large-scale drug trafficking, or attempted murder of a witness, juror, or court officer in certain cases."

It also includes the murder of a fellow inmate while incarcerated for a serious crime.

According to Chron, of the 37 pardoned, 7 were Texas inmates who either were convicted of committing murders while in Texas prisons or, in the case of Julius Omar Robinson, convicted of committing multiple murders while running a narcotics drug operation.
