Leonard Peltier has reached International celebrity, based upon critical questions surrounding his conviction in 1977 in the deaths of two FBI agents. Amnesty International has designated Peltier, as a Political Prisoner in which a U.S. prosecutor has admitted in court during an appeal hearing that he did not know who killed the agents and cannot prove who did. A federal judge who heard this statement was unable to afford any relief, wrote a letter to Sen. Inouye to ask the President to grant Clemency.
