Ed T, I was merely asking where you stood in relation to your comments but...

I've no feeling believe either way as to his guilt or innocence but, reading the wikipedia article, I find this for example:

An FBI ballistics expert testimony during the trial asserted that a shell case found near the dead agents' bodies matched the rifle tied to Peltier. He said that a forensics test of the firing pin, which would have more definitively matched the gun to the cartridge case, was not performed because the gun was damaged in the fire. A less definitive test indicated that the extractor marks on the case and rifle matched.

Years later, after an FOIA request, the FBI ballistics expert's records were examined. His report said that he had performed a ballistics test of the firing pin and concluded that the cartridge case from the scene of the crime did not come from the rifle tied to Peltier. That evidence was withheld from the jury during the trial.

as well as other doubts.

If true, I can not see how Peltier's conviction can be considered safe and believe he should be allowed an appeal or retrial.
