The freeing of Leonard Peltier is a long-time liberal cause, so old that it doesn't garner much attention anymore. The Wikipedia article, if it is to be believed, sounds quite credible in defense of Peltier - but the conviction has gone through the normal cycle of appeals and has been upheld.

Still, the doubt exits. Was Peltier convicted for actually committing a murder, or was it for political reasons?
