146. Gregg Wager and Attorney Barry Bachrach: Will Leonard Peltier Be Pardoned?
Listen now
Description
Publisher Kris Millegan speaks with is Dr. Gregg Wager and attorney Barry Bachrach about Dr. Wager’s book, AQUASH'S MURDER: Hermeneutical and Post-Modern Legal Analysis in Light of the Murder of Anna Mae Pictou-Aquash (feisty American Indian Movement activist).  Months before Aquash's murder, a deadly gun battle between AIM members and two young FBI agents forced her to flee with her friend and fellow agitator Leonard Peltier. Although Peltier always denied FBI claims that he was the one who delivered coup de grâce shots to the agents, he was eventually convicted of double murder. This prompted unsuccessful popular movements for a Presidential pardon as inept lies from both sides helped stalemate any legal or political progress.
