John Graham “pulled off the cruelest of 11th hour heists” by forcing another delay in his trial that was scheduled to start Oct. 6 on charges he killed Annie Mae Aquash in 1975, her family said in a statement.
U.S. District Judge Lawrence Piersol canceled the Rapid City trial Oct. 3 after concluding the indictment was “fatally defective” because the government failed to present the issue of whether Graham was an Indian to the grand jury.
