A murderer who killed two female bank workers in 2017 has new demands after Joe Biden commuted his sentence.
Brandon Council, 38, who was sentenced to death for murdering bank workers Donna Major and Katie Skeen in South Carolina, has filed for a compassionate release just a weeks after Biden commuted his sentence from death to life in prison.
In a legal motion filed in the US District Court in Florence, Council attorneys have filed a compassionate release because Council has been “subjected to ‘severe, unnecessary, and unjustifiable psychological harm.”
In 2019, after a three-week trial, Council was handed the death sentence for murdering Major and Skeen during a bank robbery in Conway, South Carolina.

Here’s what The Daily Mail reported:
A murderer who ruthlessly gunned down two innocent female bank workers has now demanded to be let out of prison – just days after President Biden saved him from death row.
Brandon Council, 38, who was sentenced to death for the cold-blooded murders of bank employees Donna Major and Katie Skeen, filed the bold request for ‘compassionate release’ on Friday.
ADVERTISEMENTCouncil murdered the two women during a horrific bank raid in Conway, South Carolina, in 2017.
After a three-week trial, he was convicted in September 2019, with judges handing down the death sentence the following month.
But in a controversial move, Biden commuted his sentence to life last Monday, in one of his final presidential decisions before his tenure ends next month.
Now Council has made the entitled demand to walk free.
The killer’s legal motion, filed in US District Court in Florence, claims that he’s been subjected to ‘severe, unnecessary, and unjustifiable psychological harm’ in solitary confinement since November 2019.

This is why we need the death penalty for anyone who murders another human.

Per WMBF:
A man who was spared from death row after President Joe Biden commuted his federal death sentence on Monday is now asking the courts for compassionate release.
Brandon Council’s federal death sentence was among 37 commuted by President Joe Biden early Monday. He will now serve life in federal prison without the possibility of parole.
