In a major law suit filed last week in Washington, DC, two federal prisoners claim that United States Department of Justice officials knowingly violated the Sentencing Reform Act of 1984 (& its amendments) & illegally extended the inmates' prison terms for over a decade. The law suit was brought by Leonard Peltier (photo), now serving consecutive life sentences for the alleged killing of two FBI agents on June 26, 1975; & Yorie Von Kahl, serving life plus 15 years for the alleged killing of two U.S. Marshals on February 13, 1983. After trial, undisputed evidence of government misconduct was uncovered in each of these controversial cases.
