MONDAY, MARCH 25, 2002 In an editorial, The Sioux Falls Argus Leader criticizes a South Dakota judge for ignoring "fairness and justice" in a case involving the Crow Creek Sioux Tribe's girls basketball team. Two white teens are charged with assaulting members of the team by shooting a gun at them. But since the boys will be tried in juvenile and not federal court, the paper says there appears to be a double standard of justice when it comes to Native Americans. "Race aside, there has been no justice in this case," the paper writes. Get the Story:
