But Joseph Corradino, the Bridgeport state’s attorney, told the outlet Tuesday that Peeler “received the maximum sentence in state court and completed it.”He declined to comment further and referred questions to the US Attorney’s Office.

Peeler sought to have his sentence reduced three years ago under 2018’s First Step Act, which reformed the federal prisons and their sentencing guidelines, among other things.
