  • U.S. judge splits decision on cooperating witnesses in Aquash murder case

    By Paul DeMain

    A U.S. federal magistrate told prosecutors to turn over a few more details in the case against a Canadian man charged with a 1975 killing but ruled against John Graham in his request for other information.

    Graham's first-degree murder trial is scheduled to start Oct. 6 in Rapid City, S.D., for the slaying of fellow Canadian Annie Mae Aquash on the Pine Ridge Reservation.

    Both were American Indian Movement (AIM) members, as was Arlo Looking Cloud, who was convicted in 2004 and sentenced to a mandatory life prison term for his role. Witnesses at his trial said he, Graham and another AIM member, Theda Clark, drove Aquash from Denver and Graham shot Aquash in the Badlands as she begged for her life.
