1. After the June 26, 1975 shoot-out at Jumping Bull Compound, Leonard Peltier, who had previously interrogated Annie Mae Pictou-Aquash about being an informant in early June of 1975, continued to believe that she might be working for the FBI in some capacity. During his time underground, Peltier bragged to several other AIM members that he had killed the agents, re-enacting the final moments as they pled for their lives. One of those he bragged too, was Annie Mae Pictou-Aquash, who was once again, shortly thereafter confronted by Peltier about being a possible "Pig."

2. Federal authorities should attempt to establish through witnesses that one of the motives that compelled leadership members of AIM, convinced in December 1975, that Annie Mae may be an informant, was her knowledge about Peltier shooting the agents. An additional motive that leadership members of AIM, (Clyde and Vernon Bellecourt, Dennis Banks, David Mr. X Hill, Ted and Bill Means, Madonna Gilbert and Lorelie DeCory) may have been a concern that Annie Mae had information about the 1973 death of civil rights worker Ray Robinson, Jr. inside Wounded Knee during its occupation by AIM.

3. Federal authorities should attempt to establish that once Annie Mae was threatened with death in Denver, Colorado that any decisions she made, as described by witnesses, as "volunteering" to go to Rapid City, South Dakota were made under duress and for survival reasons.

4. Federal authorities should attempt to establish that Arlo Looking Cloud was with Annie Mae during periods from Denver, Colorado to her death site, and that it was clear that her life was in danger, and that other individuals within AIM had threatened to have her killed.

5. Considering statements by Looking Cloud's attorney, that Looking Cloud has admitted being at the site of Annie Mae's execution, prosecutors will attempt to show that statements Looking Cloud has made to others, including alleged statements about possessing the gun, before he handed it to John Graham, that Looking Cloud knew that Annie Mae was going to be killed.
