A 48-year-old Connecticut drug kingpin who killed a mother and her
8-year-old son so she wouldn't testify against his brother has received
clemency as part of former President Joe Biden's clemency for nearly 2,500
federal inmates he described as "non-violent."

Adrian Peeler, a Bridgeport drug trafficker, killed a woman named Karen
Clarke and her 8-year-old son just weeks before they were supposed to
testify against his brother, who was accused of shooting Clarke's boyfriend
in front of the child.

The mother and son were ambushed as they returned home to their apartment
in January 1999. Police found the boy with a bullet hole in the back of his
head on the stairs and Clarke riddled with gunshot wounds and her
outstretched hand inches from a phone, according to CT Post.

Peeler, the alleged shooter, beat the top charge of murder and served 25
years in state prison for conspiracy to commit murder. He also took a plea
deal on federal cocaine trafficking charges. After finishing his
Connecticut sentence, he was transferred to federal custody to serve more
time.

"I’m sick and tired, and I’m disgusted," her brother, Oswald Clarke, told
The Associated Press. "It’s a very shocking thing. My family is very
distraught about it. It’s like we’re being traumatized all over again."

"Today, I am commuting the sentences of nearly 2,500 people convicted of
non-violent drug offenses who are serving disproportionately long sentences
compared to the sentences they would receive today under current law,
policy, and practice," Biden said in a statement.

It's more like clemency for violent psychopaths.
