In 1999, Adrian Peeler brutally shot and killed Karen Clarke and her 8-year-old son. Today, thanks to clemency granted by President Joe Biden during his final days in office, Peeler is a free man—an unacceptable outcome that has sparked rightful outrage across our state, leaving more questions than answers.

As an advocate for victims and their families, we stand firm in opposing this decision. Connecticut Senate Republicans continue to raise our voices to demand that the voices of victims’ families be prioritized. The Clarke family has made it clear: Adrian Peeler is the worst kind of criminal and should never be allowed back into any community.

This release isn’t just about one man’s freedom; it’s about protecting the safety of our communities and ensuring that justice remains a guiding principle.

It’s time to take action and make sure that violent criminals like Peeler never have the chance to harm another family.

“The least we could do is provide the taxpayers with an honest budget, and we haven’t even done that. It’s eventually going to lead us to a problem when we’re not going to be able to solve it.” - State Sen. Stephen Harding
