Today, February 15 – The hope for Leonard Peltier
As Leonard Peltier enters his 48th year behind bars, his supporters and legal advocates are renewing the push to have him released through whatever means: clemency, pardon, or compassionate release based on his advanced age and declining health. 78-year-old Peltier was first convicted of murdering two FBI agents on the Pine Ridge Reservation in April, 1977. It was a complicated and controversial trial and he has been turned back from every legal challenge and political plea since. Every change in presidential administrations offers new optimism of a favorable look into his plight. His prominent supporters range from Mother Theresa to Pamela Anderson. His detractors include high-ranking judicial officials and the family of Anna Mae Pictou-Aquash. We get an update on Peltier’s status in prison and the efforts to maintain justice.
