As always, there are two sides of every story (usually many more than that.) The "No Parole Peltier Association" has a lot to say and you can view court decisions etc.
Regardless of what side one comes down on in this story, the fact remains that yet again an Indie filmmaker has done an excellent job of stating their point to the world.
