Melissa in the Morning: Outraged with President Biden
</h5>
<div class="text-line-clamp text-line-clamp-3 balanced-p fs-8 text-muted text-break">
The man convicted in the 1999 Bridgeport killing of an eight-year-old boy and his mother was granted clemency by former President Biden. Adrian Peeler was convicted of conspiracy to commit murder in the killing of Leroy BJ Brown and Karen Clarke. Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim was outraged to learn about the President’s decision and reacted immediately on WICC.

Senator Richard Blumenthal has proposed new legislation to get a better handle on presidents pardoning power, including new guardrails and a better heads up to victims impacted by someone else’s pardon.
