A condemned children’s murderer whose death sentence was commuted by former President Biden during his last week in office has been accused by a Grand Jury of Louisiana for the same atrocious crime.
A grand jury of the parish of La Catahoula will seek penalty by Thomas S. Sanders, 15 years after kidnapping and killing the girl in Las Vegas, Lexis Roberts, 12, according to Kalb.
The murderer had sentenced the death corridor for a federal jury in Louisiana in September 2014 after a four -year trial that he admitted to having killed Lexis and his mother, Sub, then appealed in the Federal Court of Appeals in 2020.
Biden granted Sicko clemency in December 2024 and traveled his death sentence to life imprisonment without the possibility of parol.
However, the district prosecutor of the parish of Catahoula, Bradley R. Burget, said he will pursue the death penalty for the children’s murderer at the state level, which could undo the clemence act of Biden.
“In 2010, the State deferred the prosecution of federal authorities, who processed and achieved justice for Lexis,” Burget said, according to Mississippi Natchez Democrat’s departure.
“However, Mr. Biden commuted the federal death sentence imposed on Mr. Sanders to a life sentence that chose to avoid the life of a child murderer condemned about the victim, Lexis Kaye Roberts.”

Two months after their relationship, Sanders, Sálen and Roberts Tok Tok a trip to the Grand Canyon over the weekend of Labor Day, Chordination to the Department of Justice.
When they returned from Nevada, Sanders went to a remote location in the Arizona desert and shot him in tool and kidnapped the 12 -year -old girl, keeping her captive for several days while becoming throughout the country.
He later shot the Roberts four times and cut his throat in a wooded remote area or Catahoula parish. The hunters found their body on October 8, 2010, approximately one month after she was killed.
A national human hunt ended the police capturing the children’s murderer at a truck stop at Mississippi more than a month later.
“This is a heartbreaking case,” said Assistant Attorney General Leslie R. Caldwell at the time of Sander’s sentence in 2014.
“To Young Girl Witnesseced The Murder of Her Mother, was Held Captive For Days, and Had Her Life Cut Tragicalally Short By A Sensoess, Brutal Murder. We Hope Today’s Verder Will Help Lexis’ Family as They Oses Of The Loss of They of they of they of they of they of they of they “” ”
Biden ended up switching his sentence and the sentences of another 36 men in the federal death corridor, including at least four other children’s murderers and several mass murderers, as one of his last acts as president.
President Trump, who was waiting to take office for his second term, hit Biden for the move, which was announced on Christmas Day.
