New Peltier Motion

In May 1995, lawyers for Leonard Peltier filed an unprecedented legal motion in the eighth circuit court of appeals in a direct request for the re-opening of his appeal for a new trial on the grounds of a mistake that has sat on record and uncorrected for the past ten years. A decision to re- open the appeal will likely take several months.

Meanwhile Leonard's clemency request is still pending.
