For over a decade-and-a-half an Indian elder has
been fighting to get justice for his dead son, killed in a California
prison under circumstances that remain cloudy to this day. The crusade
has attracted the attention of a documentary filmmaker who hopes to
produce a feature on the controversial case. " I have been living with
this for sixteen years," Tony Nieto, 72, repeatedly states in an
interview with the Native American Times. What he has been living with
is the shooting death of his son, Anthony "Angry Bear" Nieto, on June
2, 1988, in Folsom State Prison. Initially, the California Department
of Corrections said a prison guard, Moises Guerrero, gunned Angry Bear
down to stop him from stabbing another inmate to death. They also
claimed that Guerrero issued a warning before opening fire. Tony Nieto
never believed it. He maintains the shooting was racially motivated. [more
