I don't know the details of the other 37 inmates. But knowing our justice system, I think this is a good thing?
It means Trump can't just execute a bunch of people, so that's a moral win.
Wouldn't be surprised if statically at least one of these people were innocent, so hopefully, this allows time for any such innocence to be discovered.
