Sunday, February 19, 2006Subj: Update: Court Hearing on Feb 13, 2006 -From the Leonard Peltier Defense Committee Date: 2/19/2006 12:42:17 AM Eastern Standard Time To: Leonard Peltier Supporters From: Leonard Peltier Defense Committee Subject: Update on Court Hearing on Feb 13, 2006 Location: 111 S. 10th Street Southeast Courtroom 27th Floor St. Louis, Missouri In a "Standing Room" only courtroom filled with Leonard Peltier supporters, Leonard's attorneys argued Leonard's appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, relative to the District Court's denial of Leonard's to correct his Illegal Sentence. The Court greeted both Leonard's Attorneys and the Government Attorney with many questions concerning the key issues raised. Leonard's attorneys raised many strong points in response to the Court's questions and we ask that Leonard's supporters pray that the Court make the just and right decision. After listening to the parties' arguments, the Court took the case under advisement and a decision will most likely be rendered within the next three months. After the argument, Leonard's supporters, with the coordination of Lisa Reinhold, held a luncheon to thank those supporters who came to seek justice for Leonard. Attorney Barry Bachrach, and Toni Zeidan, LPDC Coordinator, spoke briefly to thank the supporters and update them on Leonard's circumstances. Attorney Michael Kuzma also spoke to alert the audience to the significant actions he is taking relative to acquiring further documents which are being withheld by the Government. Your support is necessary to enable Attorney Kuzma and the LPDC research team get the information necessary to establish Leonard's freedom. The Leonard Peltier Defense Committee would like to thank everyone who joined us on Feb 13, 2006 in prayers, thoughts and support!
