    Native American activist Leonard Peltier was released from prison. The 80-year-old spent almost 5 decades in prison after he was convicted of aiding and abetting murder in the 1975 deaths of two FBI agents. Peltier says he was present during the shootout on South Dakota's Pine Ridge Indian Reservation when the agents were killed, but that he had no connection to the crime. Joe Biden commuted Peltier's sentence, allowing the activist to be released.
