Man convicted of Aquash murder gets new lawyer
Monday, September 18, 2006
Arlo Looking Cloud, an Oglala Sioux man convicted of murdering American Indian Movement activist Anna Mae Pictou Aquash, was given a new lawyer to pursue a new trial.
Looking Cloud, 53, was convicted by a jury of Aquash's 1975 death. He appealed to the 8th Circuit but the court rejected him.
Soon after, he asked for his attorney to withdraw and sought a new one. He was assigned Mike Butler by the court. Looking Cloud now says he deserves a new trial on "inadequate counsel" and other grounds.
A second man, John Graham, a Native from Canada, awaits extradition to face charges for Aquash's death on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota.
