Activists->Peltier,: The fight continues over whether Leonard Peltier should be paroled
Posted on Friday, July 31 @ 23:27:06 CDT (408 reads)

BISMARCK, N.D. - The North Dakota reservation where imprisoned American Indian activist Leonard Peltier grew up has made arrangements to incorporate him back into society should he be paroled, Peltier's attorney said Tuesday.

Peltier is serving two life sentences for the execution-style deaths of FBI agents Jack Coler and Ronald Williams during a June 26, 1975, standoff on South Dakota's Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. He was convicted in Fargo, N.D., in 1977. He has claimed the FBI framed him, which the agency denies, and he has unsuccessfully appealed his conviction numerous times.

AUTHOR: Barry Bachrach, Attorney representing Leonard Peltier

A major occurrence in Rapid City last week. A trial, if that's what you want to call it. Many of you covered the murder trial of Arlo Looking Cloud. A 10-minute defense? Pretty sensational stuff.

You didn't find what you were witnessing at all strange? I did. I mean, who was on trial?

The Associated Press FARGO, N.D. -- American Indian activist Leonard Peltier has appealed a judge's decision to uphold the two murder sentences imposed on him in 1977.

Peltier claimed he never had the chance to argue that his sentences should be based on the theory he, at most, aided others in the killings of two FBI agents in 1975, or that he acted in self-defense.

Leonard Peltier was one of four men charged with killing the agents in a shootout on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. Two suspects were acquitted in 1976, and the third was freed for lack of evidence.

Peltier was convicted of the murders in Fargo and was sentenced in 1977.
