CCCO News Notes reports that, in U.S. v. Kelly, the three-year sentence being served by Daniel Kelly at Allenwood Federal Prison Camp was vacated because he had been reclassified and drafted as a “delinquent.” This is a reported court disposition, not proof of the day he physically left custody; no release date or actual custody duration is inferred. Contemporary report.
