Leonard Peltier, in case you do not know is a man who was convicted of murdering 2 FBI agents in 1975. He has been serving time in prison and now, the loony left like Michael Moore are calling for Obama to grant him a pardon. Lovely.
Leonard Peltier (born September 12, 1944) is a Native American activist and member of the American Indian Movement (AIM). In 1977 he was convicted and sentenced to two consecutive terms of life imprisonment for first degree murder in the shooting of two Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents during a 1975 conflict on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. This charge was illegally changed to aiding and abetting.[1]
Peltier's indictment and conviction have been the subject of much controversy; Amnesty International placed his case under the "Unfair Trials" category of its Annual Report: USA 2010, citing concerns with the fairness of the proceedings.[2]
Peltier is incarcerated at the Coleman Federal Correctional Complex, Florida. Peltier's next scheduled parole hearing will be in July 2024.[3] Barring appeals or parole, his projected release date is October 11, 2040.[4]Judging by the information you find about this man, the fact that he's Native American might be a clue as to why someone like this would be an interest of the left. We all know how much they try to show outward love for minorities.
