Aquash murder defendant can't question FBI photo


A Canadian Native man accused of murdering American Indian Movement activist Anna Mae Pictou Aquash in 1975 lost a ruling in his extradition battle on Tuesday.

John Graham wanted to question how the FBI identified him using a photo. But a judge in British Columbia, where the extradition hearing is being held, denied the request.

Former AIM leader John Trudell reportedly confirmed Graham's identity through the photo. He is said to be the only person to have identified Graham.

Graham is the second man charged with Aquash's brutal murder on the Pine Ridge Reservation. The first man, Arlo Looking Cloud, was found guilty but has appealed his conviction.
