Thomas Sanders, a convicted child murderer spared by Biden in a 2024 clemency spree, is back. Back on the hook that is, for the death penalty. A Louisiana grand jury just indicted him on new state charges for the 2010 murder of 12-year-old Lexis Roberts. (He also murdered Lexis’ mother). Sanders was one of 37 death row inmates Biden gave a pass to on his way out the door. Now Louisiana may finish what federal court started. Biden commuted his sentence – Louisiana said Hell No! Thomas S. Sanders was indicted by a Louisiana state Grand Jury on April 14 for the chilling death of 12-year-old Lexis Kaye Roberts in 2010.https://t.co/gT2KlS7z9R — James Wieck (@JamesWieck97276) April 17, 2025 Fox News reports: A convicted child killer who was sentenced to death in 2014 but received a commuted sentence to spend life in prison under Joe Biden is facing the possibility of death again in Louisiana. A Louisiana federal jury convicted Thomas Sanders, now 67, of kidnapping and murdering Las Vegas 12-year-old Lexis Roberts in 2010 and sentenced him to death — the first death penalty imposed in federal court in the Western District of Louisiana. Sanders was one of the 37 death row inmates who received a commuted sentence from Biden just before the 46th president left office. On Monday, a grand jury in Catahoula Parish indicted Sanders on state charges. “I found it outrageous that Biden would use this clemency power to commute the sentence of the child killer,” Catahoula Parish District Attorney Brad Burget told Fox News Digital on Thursday. “Whatever your politics are doesn’t matter. This is a 12-year-old who watched her mother be brutally killed by Mr. Sanders. Then, he kidnapped her and traveled halfway across the United States to rural Catahoula Parish in Louisiana, where he shot this 12-year-old three times in the head and once in the chest with a 22-caliber rifle and then slit her throat with a homemade knife.” Sanders initially met Lexis’ mother, Suellen, in 2010 while he was working at a warehouse in Las Vegas, where Lexis and her mother were living at the time. He and Suellen began dating, and about two months into their relationship, they decided to take a road trip to the Grand Canyon over Labor Day Weekend that year, according to the Justice Department. It was during their return home that Sanders drove off I-40 into an Arizona desert and fatally shot Suellen. He then forced Lexis into his vehicle and traveled across the country with the 12-year-old girl, holding her captive for several days until they arrived in Louisiana. And then Biden’s autopen signed off that Sanders should live. We truly have enemies ruling over us. At least, we did until President Trump returned. Biden sure like to lessen the punishments for murderers go, didn’t he?
