Whoa geeze. Lawyer for his family finally got the documents released. I knew it was crazy wild during the standoff.

But I have to say this news has rocked my perception of what happened at Wounded Knee.

Here's the story and the victim. Pity it has taken the family so long to be able to discover the truth about Robinson's fate. I hope they find his body and can finally find closure.
