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."
