Aquash murder defendant appeals conviction
Tuesday, January 11, 2005
A man convicted of murdering American Indian Movement activist Anna Mae Pictou Aquash went before the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday.
Arlo Looking Cloud, 51, was found guilty of the 1975 murder of Aquash. Her body was found on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota in February 1976.
Looking Cloud's lawyer told the court his trial was prejudicial because prosecutors presented information about AIM and the organization's alleged involvement in Aquash's murder. Looking Cloud wants to be released or granted a new trial.
A second man, a Canadian Native, has been charged with the murder. John Graham is fighting extradition from Canada.
