Yesterday Leonard Peltier turned 79. He's been in prison for nearly five decades.
“'If he was tried today, no way he gets convicted,' Kevin Sharp, Leonard’s attorney and former federal judge, told ICT. 'That is not the law today. The violations that law enforcement committed, that the US Attorney's Office committed at that time, the threats, the intimidation is a constitutional violation.'”
Hundreds gathered at the white house calling for his release. 35 were arrested.
