courtroom yesterday when convicted killer sarah boone used her sentencing hearing to blame boyfriend george torresunior for putting her behind bars. >> sarah? >> yeah, you should probably shut up. >> george's grieving family members were present for the sentencing, offering powerful, devastating victim impact statements. >> such a simple thing as using a suitcase is so triggering. i try not to close it all the way in on my son. i love him. >> and i miss him. i love my family. i miss him a lot too. >> despite witnessing that, sarah continued to play the victim. >> i forgive myself for falling in love with a monster and no matter how grotesque he may become, i still loved him. i can't ivÁn. >> seriously. >> yeah, that's when you do and you choke me. >> boone used her battered woman defense that failed at trial, dragging torres's ghost in a tone deaf bid for some of her own mercy from the court. >> my goal begins with george torres, and every time he slapped me, kicked, punched, spit on, raped, stabbed, choked, laughed at, pushed, pulled, dragged, whipped, tripped. stole from. lied. terrorized. threa

penalty law the three highest profiled by some cases are horrifically if anyone could look you want george torres crystal tobias, laura hobbs, victims amanda gene joe read about the cases horrifically another example of joe biden, his justice department his administration putting moves head of victim always put criminals ahead of kopdz a disgrace imagine your christmas day present from joe biden is i don't care did your loss i want to do this a light "newsweek" you are having this brought to attention, forefront of your focus, for this christmas, it is so horrific, so sad, it is utterly disgraceful. gerri: i mean i am just shocked and blown away so glad you explained that i appreciate you're doing that, you know, americans need to know thank you. . >> i hope one last point i hope somebody asked press secretary if he cocked any victims before he did this my guess they will have a nonanswer the innocence will be no. >> we are just getting started, this hour, coming up lawmakers approving a will slirm package this weekend to avoid a you shutdown but debt ceiling not concluded you are watching "morni

>> i prosecuted one of them by the name of george torres who killed two little girls in illinois, andthem to death, killed a woman who was a sailor serving in the military while she was sleeping at fort myer, also attacked other women in arlington county and he was given the death penalty by a jury. after the department of justice approved seeking the death penalty. so this is really one of the most outrageous things joe biden did and is not just the substance of it, the way he went about it that a sneaky way right before christmas eve so that it would get less media attention. not contacting the families, not explaining it to the american public, not seeking to change the law with congress, it is truly disgraceful and it seems like his position at this point is he's against the death penalty unless it's a really high-profile case which is certainly a morally untenable position to have. >> mike: ted williams, jonathan fahey, many thanks and have a beautiful weekend. >> thank you. >> mike: coming up, china unveiling the world's largest amphibious warship, strengthening what was already

, laura hobbs, and crystal tobias, eight and nine years old sexually assaulted and murdered by george torreson to kill amanda snell. another example, lexis roberts was 12 years old when thomas sanders took her life after making her watch him murder her mother. >> it's two days before christmas. i can only imagine the grief and the shock that these families are experiencing as they get ready for the holidays. reporter: in a statement president biden says he condemns the crimes of the 37 murders whose sentences he's downgraded and he grieves for their victims but added "in good conscience i can not stand back and let a new administration resume executions that i halted." a statement by president-elect trump's team called the 37 among the worst killers in the world and the president's decision abhorrent saying under trump the rule of law will return when he's back in the white house. now there are some democrats pushing up against or pushing back against president biden's parting gift here. listen to this. >> i am real concerns overall with the death penalty but i also have concerns with the ex
