Leonard Peltier was convicted of the deaths of 2 FBI agents in 1977. 2 others involved in the shooting were acquitted of all charges, and only Peltier was sentenced to serve 2 life sentences. These FBI agents entered the Pine Ridge Reservation illegally.
Not only have his appeals been denied, there are about 6,000 pages of the case that remain confidential. Leonard Pelitier deserves a fair trial which he was never given in the first place. Additional information can be found below.
