Excerpt

Judge Nichol, who presided at the Wounded Knee trial ~ St. Paul, has also worked with the American Legion serving as chairman of its Americanism Committee. He could be considered a conservative man. According to some who were present at the trial, he spoke good words about the FBI participation in the trial calling it the finest agency of its kind in the world. Eight and one-half months and hours of testimony later, the judge spoke other words, giving a scalding assessment of what he had witnessed, concluding, "This has been a bad year for justice."
