Nothing has changed. Had his sentence been commuted 4 years ago when President Biden took office, Peltier would have been released when he was 76 years old instead of 80.

From Michigan, home of the Uncommitted movement.
Yawn.
But, he can refuse the Commutation, I guess. You know, principle over freedon and all that...

Haven't heard anything so far. Pretty important and long overdue step by Joe Biden. It's possible that I missed it.
