abrasivesaint Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 “I write today from a position rare for a former prosecutor: to beseech you to commute the sentence of a man who I helped put behind bars,” he wrote. “With time, and the benefit of hindsight, I have realized that the prosecution and continued incarceration of Mr. Peltier was and is unjust. We were not able to prove that Mr. Peltier personally committed any offense on the Pine Ridge Reservation.” https://www.huffpost.com/entry/leonard-peltier-prison-clemency-biden_n_618049f3e4b059d0bfc19e5c The fucking guy is practically dead, but, free the man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fat ralphy Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 I never did a deep dive into this case but it is definitely interesting based on what I have seen….honestly after 45 years I think most everyone deserves a second chance and fact is this dudes trial seems like it was a shit show. https://famous-trials.com/leonardpeltier/742-sentencingstatement 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercer Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Remember supporting this guy's release since the early 90's, glad nobody has forgotten about him after all these years and they're still trying. Probably 2nd most widely acknowledged case of intentional false imprisonment since Mumia. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
