United States Eighth Circuit
US v. Peltier, 05-3194
Denial of defendant's motion challenging his sentence for murder is affirmed over his claim that his sentence was illegal because the court that tried him had no subject matter jurisdiction over the crimes of which he was convicted since the FBI agents at issue were killed in Indian country.
