A Connecticut man who was convicted in one of the state’s most notorious murder cases was one of the nearly 2,500 people whose federal drug-related prison sentences were commuted by former President Joe Biden in his last days in office.
Adrian Peeler served a 20-year state prison sentence for murder conspiracy in the 1999 shootings of an 8-year-old boy and his mother in Bridgeport.
He finished that sentence in 2021 and began serving a 15-year federal prison term for drug dealing.
He is now set to be released in July.
Family of the two killed and Connecticut political leaders are criticizing the commutation.
