Man Whose Death Sentence Was Commuted by Biden in 2024 Indicted for First-Degree Murder of 12-Year-Old Girl |

Man Whose Death Sentence Was Commuted by Biden in 2024 Indicted for First-Degree Murder of 12-Year-Old Girl |

In a dramatic turn of events, Thomas Steven Sanders, a convicted murderer of a child, has resurfaced in the headlines following a grand jury indictment for first-degree murder in Louisiana. This comes on the heels of a federal death sentence commuted by President Joe Biden in December 2024—an act executed with the efficiency of an autopen.

Originally sentenced to death in 2014 for the heinous kidnapping and murder of 12-year-old Lexis Roberts in Las Vegas in 2010, Sanders’ case is a stark reminder of the complex interplay between federal and state justice systems.

During a trip to the Grand Canyon, he committed the unspeakable act of murdering Lexis’s mother, Suellen Roberts, before taking the girl to Louisiana, where he ultimately ended her life in Catahoula Parish.

Despite his federal conviction and original sentence of death, Biden’s commutation has transformed Sanders’ fate to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole—a decision affecting 37 out of 40 inmates on federal death row.

Now, the state of Louisiana is stepping in to assert its own brand of justice.

The Catahoula Parish Grand Jury has formally indicted Sanders for the state-level murder of Lexis Roberts.

District Attorney Bradley Burget has announced plans to pursue the death penalty, making it clear that Biden’s federal commutation does not interfere with state prosecution efforts. As reported by KALB.

“Biden’s action to commute the federal death penalty will have no effect on the state prosecution of Sanders,” Burget stated, as confirmed by The Democrat.

Interestingly, Sanders now finds himself as the third individual granted clemency, only to face new legal troubles.

In a broader context, highlights the case of Dequan Willard, a Texas man granted clemency by President Biden on January 17 as part of a sweeping release affecting 2,490 federal inmates.

However, just a week later, Willard was arrested again for allegedly breaching the terms of his supervised release, starkly illustrating the complexities and potential pitfalls of clemency decisions.

Similarly, another recipient of Biden’s mass clemency, Willie Frank Peterson, a convicted drug dealer, has also returned to incarceration. Peterson, whose initial sentence stemmed from a 2023 cocaine distribution conviction, was arrested in Alabama less than two months post-release, facing multiple drug and firearm charges.
