The following
documents and audio from the July 9, 2002 parole hearing were
recently released through a legal team Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA) request. The MP3 audio clips (below) were then created from
audio segments of the full parole hearing tapes to provide users with
more managable file sizes for download and listening. Every effort
has been made to maintain full content integrity of the original
parole hearing tapes.

* It
is noteworthy that at previous parole hearings, Mr. Peltier and his
legal representative have
been allowed to be present to hear testimony from those individuals
who are opposed to parole. The July 9, 2002 parole hearing was
therefore an exception in that this parole hearing had not been
organized to allow for Mr. Peltier's presence during Phase I. When
asked if copies of the hearing tapes would be released to Leonard's
legal team, the U.S. Parole Commissioner's Examiner informed Mr.
Peltier and his representative that copies of the hearing tapes would
be made available through a FOIA request. (See
audio clip entitled "Phase II: Anthony Suleski, Introduction
and Explanation to the group supporting parole for Leonard Peltier.")

For further clarification regarding
Mr. Nadler's comments about providing Mr. Peltier a plausible
explanation on why the
parole board is
holding him well beyond the normal guidelines, see
the document that was submitted by Jenner & Block Law Offices on
December 13, 1995 in response to the request of the U.S. Parole Commission.
Because the Commission had
then
admitted to being "confused" as to what Peltier was
actually accused of, the Commission had asked Peltier's counsel to
submit further documents proving the government's change of theory to
"aiding and abetting" as opposed to "first
degree murder."

Federal
Civil Rights Complaint: The
complaint, filed in U.S. District Court, Washington D.C., alleges
that the FBI "engaged in a systematic, and officially sanctioned
campaign of mis-information and dis information" designed to
prevent Peltier from receiving fair clemency and parole reviews. The
suit follows a highly controversial campaign*
conducted by the FBI to stop former president Bill Clinton from
issuing Peltier a grant of executive clemency during his last days in office.
