American Indian Movement leader Vernon Bellecourt said the organization is interested in helping out the man charged with murdering AIM activist Anna Mae Pictou-Aquash.

Bellecourt said Arlo Looking Cloud's family has asked for AIM's assistance. He said several lawyers want to defend Looking Cloud.

Looking Cloud is charged with first-degree murder. Authorities allege he helped kill Aquash, who was found dead on the Pine Ridge Reservation in February 1976.

Looking Cloud is currently being represented by a public defender but the attorney has asked to be taken off the case. Looking Cloud's family says the attorney has not been helpful.
