Peeteetuce killed Sarah Wensley and James Haughey, both 17, at the intersection of 22nd Street West and Avenue M while driving impaired on May 5, 2014.
At the time of the collision, Peeteetuce was behind the wheel, without a licence, and fleeing from Saskatoon police in the stolen truck.
Peeteetuce pleaded guilty to seven charges including two counts of dangerous driving causing death stemming from the two-vehicle collision.
Her six-year sentence, handed down on June 12, 2015, sparked public outrage and the victims’ families called it a joke.
Peeteetuce was released early from prison on a legislated statutory release. The Parole Board of Canada said the decision was made on April 24 after a review.
A young offender, who was a passenger in the truck, was sentenced to three years in jail in January 2015 for her involvement.
