Page 3

Leonard Peltier's third bid for freedom was denied after a three-judge panel of the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals spent eight months in deliberation.

Peltier was devastated when he heard the decision, said his finance Lisa Faruolo-Peltier, who broke the news to him in Leavenworth Prison in Kansas.

"He kept telling me to go out and find a husband who could give me a family, that he was going to die in there."

Hunt was sent from Edmonton to Kingston, Ont. last June to finish her sentence. She left behind two children, one four and one 11 years old, a mother who was near death from cancer and all her friends.

"Everybody and anybody that had been part of my life was in Edmonton," Hunt said.
