1/6 Capitol rioter, Leo Christopher Kelly, mistakenly released after 11 months.

Leo Christopher Kelly, an Iowa man sentenced to 30 months for his role in the January 6 Capitol riot, was mistakenly released after serving only 11 months. The Bureau of Prisons attributed the error to a misinterpretation of a court order following an appeals court decision that vacated one of his convictions. Prosecutors have requested a hearing to address this mistake and seek resentencing, while Kelly currently remains free and compliant with probation.
