SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) – One of two men set to stand trial next month for the 1975 slaying of a fellow American Indian Movement member wants out of jail.
John Graham and Richard Marshall pleaded not guilty to charges they committed or aided and abetted the murder of Annie Mae Aquash. Their trial is scheduled to start May 12 in Rapid City.
Marshall’s lawyer filed an application for pretrial release on several conditions, including that he stay away from witnesses, not drink alcohol or use drugs, check in daily with authorities, always be with his girlfriend or employer and wear an electronic bracelet.
Marshall was convicted in 1976 of killing a man and served time in prison until 2000, but his lawyer argued he was a model prisoner and has stayed out of trouble since.
