A man accused of being an accomplice in a 1975 killing on a South Dakota Indian reservation is scheduled for trial this week in Rapid City.
Richard Marshall has pleaded not guilty for his role in the shooting of fellow American Indian Movement activist Annie Mae Aquash (AH'-kwash), a Canadian who came to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in the early 1970s.
The case remained cold until 2003, when two other former AIM members, Arlo Looking Cloud and John Graham, were indicted.
Looking Cloud was convicted in 2004 as an accomplice to Aquash's murder and sentenced to life in prison. He's expected to be a key witness in Marshall's trial.
