The family of a South Carolina bank teller who was tragically killed during a 2017 robbery is expressing deep disappointment after President Biden commuted the death sentence of her killer just days before Christmas. The convicted criminal, Brandon Council, was among 37 inmates whose federal death row sentences were commuted to life in prison by President Biden. This decision has left Donna Major's family reeling through the holiday season, feeling the pain of seeing the mercy granted to the man who showed none to their loved one.
Surveillance footage from the 2017 double murder at CresCom Bank in Conway, South Carolina, captured Council walking in, engaging briefly with Major, and then callously shooting her multiple times. He then proceeded to shoot and kill 36-year-old teller Kathryn Skeen, leaving both families devastated by the senseless violence.
