Peltier pardonedPresident Joe Biden on Monday commuted the life sentence of Leonard Peltier, a Native American activist who has been imprisoned for nearly 50 years.

Peltier, a member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians, was convicted in 1977 for the murders of two FBI agents during a 1975 shootout at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota.

The activist was convicted of first-degree murder for the deaths of FBI agents Ronald Williams and Jack Coler. However, his case has been widely criticized due to allegations of trial misconduct, including conflicting testimonies, withheld evidence and potential bias among jurors.
