 Leonard Peltier, Darrell Butler, and Robert Robidoux were charged with the murders of two FBI agents on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota in 1975. What was not in dispute was that more than 100 shots were fired and that the agents were killed execution style. Peltier fled to Canada, leaving Butler and Robidoux to stand trial in federal court. Given the racial strife at the time, the trial was moved from South Dakota to Cedar Rapids.
