A former Florida prison warden, Ron McAndrew, who previously oversaw executions, is urging President Biden to commute all federal and military death sentences before leaving office. McAndrew, a self-described 'law-and-order guy,' Air Force veteran, and pro-life Catholic, has written a letter to President Biden expressing his opposition to the death penalty.
McAndrew's stance against capital punishment stems from his firsthand experiences overseeing executions, including witnessing disturbing incidents during electric chair executions and lethal injections. He recounted a traumatic event during Pedro Medina's execution in 1997, where a burst of flames erupted, causing significant distress to witnesses.
