Leo Christopher Kelly was freed last Thursday after an appeals court agreed to throw out one of his convictions stemming from the Jan. 6, 2021 , riot.

Prosecutors believe Kelly ’s release was a mistake because he only served 11 months of his 30-month sentence.

The Bureau of Prisons says Kelly was “inadvertently released” last week after a “misinterpretation of a court order”.
