From the New York Post: A cold-blooded killer who was spared the death penalty by President Biden is now demanding he be set completely free — because prison is just too awful.
Brandon Council, 38 — who killed two moms working at a bank — filed a motion Friday claiming the Indiana federal prison where he is staying is one of the worst in the world and that his solitary confinement has been tantamount to illegal torture.
The convicted double-murderer said he has endured “severe, unnecessary, and unjustifiable psychological harm” at FCI Terre Haute since his sentencing in 2019 and deserves “compassionate release.”
Council claimed in his request that the conditions of his incarceration “can only be accurately construed and assimilated as an act of torture,” claimed that his constitutional rights have been violated, and he should be freed from prison.
Brandon Council was one of the 37 death row inmates who Biden their death sentences, leaving them now sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Council had received the death penalty in 2019, for the horrific armed bank robbery on August 21, 2017, during which he killed two bank employees: Donna Major, 59, and Kathryn “Katie” Skeen, 36.
