Native American activist, Leonard Peltier, now 79, is due for a parole hearing on Monday- his first in 15 years after spending more than 47 years behind bars for the deaths of two FBI agents. He was arrested on February 6, 1976 after Special Agents Jack Coler and Ron Williams were gunned down while searching for a suspect at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota on June 26, 1975. Officials said that he was the only suspect in their deaths because Peltier owned a gun that's bullets matched those that killed the agents.
