Mini April 2010 Updates:
CURRENT TRIAL....April 17, 2010
in Rapid City, S.D. "Dickie" Richard Marshall, is on trialin Federal Court, being charged with "giving the gun" that killed
Annie Mae, to the "killers". There was already one move to claim
mistrial because of the ways the prosecution is attempting to get
their "key" witness--convicted Arlo Looking Cloud--to explain why
his story keeps changing.
In testimony April 19th Looking Cloud claimed that he NEVER
told John Trudell details about what happened to Annie Mae Aquash.
That is a direct contradiction of testimony in 2004 when Trudell
was a KEY witness in the Looking Cloud trial: Trudell's testimony played a
crucial role in both convicting Looking Cloud AND extraditing John Graham
to the U.S. Trudell claimed Looking Cloud told him about Annie Mae's murder,
the details of her last hours alive. And now six years later Looking Cloud is
claiming "it's not true".
URGENT....
Serle Chapman, UK author, "paid informant" for FBI, testifes April 20th, 2010.
For more info about Chapman as paid operant see court documents (click here) from summer 2008. Serle Chapman has written many books, conducted many interviews with key AIM folks, including Dennis Banks and John Trudell. Chapman's FBI status was NOT known at the time he befriended old AIM.
MORE DETAILS: In notes by a Rapid City Journal reporter Chapman's testimony is discussed. The reporter says Chapman's interviews, conducted as a "FED" were "not published." This is not entirely fact. Although Chapman did not publish his "final" Indian Country project, he DID publish SEVERAL books while infiltrating old AIM. He has an extensive book list as an agent. They include:
1. Promise: Bozeman's Trail To Destiny. by Serle L. Chapman (Hardcover - Nov. 30, 2004)PUBLISHED AFTER HE "interviewed" JOHN GRAHAM IN CANADA.
2. We, the People: Of Earth and Elders, Vol. II by Serle Chapman and President Bill Clinton (Paperback - Sept. 2001)

4. Of Earth and Elders, Visions and Voices from Native America by Serle Chapman; introduction by Dennis J. Banks; postscript by Bruce Ellison Chapman and illustrated; photos by author. (2000).
Please note: a man posing as friend to "Indian Country", a UK author named Serle Chapman, is now known to be a federal paid informant/undercover operant. He was affiliated with a group called the "IWJ", interviewed many key "players" in Indian Country and wrote MANY books "about Indians".
And. On Tuesday, April 20, 2010, Serle Chapman testified at the trial of Richard Marshall (accused of handing off the gun that killed Anna Mae Aquash) in Rapid City, S.D. Chapman was witness for the Prosecution and confirmed that he did in fact "secretly" record various members/friends of AIM and gave that information to FBI/federal investigators.
