The Native American activist says he did not receive a fair trial in the slayings of FBI agents Ronald Williams and Jack Coler at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.

FARGO, N.D. (Valley News Live) - 50 years ago, Indigenous Actvist Leonard Peltier was convicted in the killings of two FBI agents in South Dakota. After years of parole hearings, one of Former President Biden’s last acts in office commuted Peltier’s life sentence.

The Society of Former Agents of the FBI is harshly criticizing President Joe Biden’s last minute clemency for Leonard Peltier, the indigenous activist who spent nearly 50 years behind bars for the 1975 deaths of two FBI agents.

Before former President Joe Biden commuted the life sentence of Indigenous activist Leonard Peltier on Monday, he received a warning from outgoing FBI Director Christopher Wray. Peltier was convicted of killing two FBI agents in the 1970s.
