Joe Biden Humiliate And Lashed Out By Woman Whose Daughter Was Brutally Murdered, You Won’t Believe Why
A woman whose daughter was murdered in 1997 lashed out at President Joe Biden this week after he commuted the death sentence of her killer.
On Monday, Biden announced he would commute the death sentences of 37 of the 40 total federal prisoners on death row. The White House said of the decision:
President Biden has dedicated his career to reducing violent crime and ensuring a fair and effective justice system. He believes that America must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level, except in cases of terrorism and hate-motivated mass murder – which is why today’s actions apply to all but those cases.
One of those 37 men, 71-year-old Marvin Gabrion, was convicted of the slaying of 19-year-old Rachel Timmerman on federal property in Michigan. Gabrion killed Timmerman and is believed to have also killed her 11-month-old daughter Shannon.
While speaking to The Detroit News on Thursday about Biden sparing Gabrion from execution, Timmerman’s mother Velda Robinson said it made her feel as.
though she was a “lesser person.”
Those that don’t believe in the death penalty I believe, honestly, that they have never been traumatized by somebody so vile, that they couldn’t comprehend where I’m coming from,” Robinson, whose 11-month-old granddaughter was also believed to have been murdered by Gabrion.
On capital punishment, she told The Detroit News, “They really shouldn’t judge me for wanting it.” She added:
People need to know that when you do something so heinous, you ain’t going to get away with it …How does Biden justify whose crime is worse than the others? …[jurors] made this decision and he just slapped the whole judicial system down
Gabrion was convicted of killing Timmerman – who told relatives he had previously raped her – and sentenced to death in 2002.
Three men who also went missing around the time of Timmerman and her infant daughter are believed to have been killed by Gabrion.
Only Timmerman’s body was discovered and it is believed she was tied up and thrown into a river while she was still breathing.
Tim Timmerman, Rachel’s father, told the Grand Rapids TV station WOOD that he did not disagree with Biden’s decision to commute Gabrion’s sentence.
But he added of the Christmas week announcement, “We thought the timing was despicable.”
