SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – For the first time, U.S. prosecutors handling a’75 slaying on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation have directly accused one of the defendants of supplying the gun that killed Annie Mae Aquash (AH’-kwash).
Richard Marshall and John Graham have pleaded not guilty to committing or aiding and abetting the first-degree murder of the Canadian woman when all three were American Indian Movement activists.
Marshall was indicted in August, five years after Graham and another member of the activist group were first charged.
According to court documents seeking an alibi defence, prosecutors say Marshall was at home in Allen when he gave Graham and others the revolver and ammunition that Graham later used to kill Aquash.
Her body was found with a gunshot wound to the head.
