While I am aware of the seriousness of the conviction in his case, I am also aware of many other issues regarding unfairness in his original trial. Documents show that although the prosecution pointed the finger at Peltier for shooting FBI agents at close range in 1976, for three years the prosecution withheld critical ballistic tests proving that the fatal bullets could not have come from the gun tied to Leonard Peltier. However, Mr. Peliter has expressed sadness for the tragedy that occurred that day at Oglala, and pain for the families of the two agents and the Indian man that died that day. Please consider that while in prison, Leonard Peltier has been a positive influence in our society. Leonard Peltier has recently been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for the 6th straight year. He consistently donates his artwork for charities such as battered women shelters, half way houses, alcohol and drug treatment programs, and Native American scholarship funds. Thirty-three years is a long time; not just for Leonard Peltier and family, but for many of his supporters, working and praying for peace, justice, and harmony for sovereign native nations and the USA. Please grant parole.Respectfully[Your name]For more information, visit FN resource page: Free Leonard Peltier! Make your browsing faster, safer, and easier with the new Internet Explorer® 8.
