Peter Cichuniec is being released from prison after a judge reduces his sentence to four years of probation.

He was convicted in December of criminally negligent homicide for injecting Elijah McClain with ketamine.

His name became part of the rallying cries for social justice that swept the U.S. in 2020 .

Judge Mark Warner ruled that “unusual and extenuating circumstances” in the case justified reducing the sentence.
