After 33 years it will be hard

to prove murder.

Two men charged with the 1975 slaying of a woman on the Pine Ridge Reservation can be tried together, a magistrate judge has ruled in denying their requests for separate trials.

John Graham and Richard Marshall have pleaded not guilty to charges they committed or aided and abetted the first-degree murder of Annie Mae Aquash.

They’re scheduled to stand trial together in Rapid City starting Feb. 24 – 33 years after her body was found in the Badlands near Wanblee.

It's good to see that Annie Mae Aquash has not been forgotten.

Yes.

Maybe at even this late date justice will be done.
