Let's just go to Myrtle Poor Bear. Her affidavits were used to bring Peltier back to the US, not convict him. The defense argues about a third affidavit, but none of them were used at trial anyway. And, that she wasn't allowed to testify for the defense. You say she had mental impairments which made her affidavits unreliable. Funny thing is, that's the exact reason the judge didn't let her testify.

"The Court observed that she had a complete lapse of memory on cross-examination relating to recent events."

"And the Court concludes that credibility of this witness for any purpose is so suspect that to permit her testimony to go to the jury would be confusing the issues, {4658} may mislead the jury and could be highly prejudicial."

Every time I've run down any information on this case, it's ended up just like this. Others placed her at Jumping Bull as well. This kind of information doesn't rise to the level of a Presidential Pardon. That's my opinion.
