Extended interview with Billy Dean Smith who was charged with murder for allegedly killing a commanding officer. After a lengthy trial at Fort Ord and much mass support, he was acquitted of all the murder and attempted murder charges. Was found guilty for allegedly kneeing a sergeant (when arrested) but had already served more time than that conviction would allow, so he was released. Notes that the courtroom they were building for him at Fort Ord was firebombed three times and other acts of sabotage took place. Notes strong Cuban solidarity with the case and discusses in detail his visit to Cuba.
