Biography
The South Dakota Supreme Court’s account states that attorney Ramon Roubideaux was found in contempt on April 25, 1974 by Judge Joseph Bottum during the Custer proceedings. He was actually jailed for one day in the county jail; the additional $100 fine was later rescinded. This was confinement imposed on a lawyer in the course of defending American Indian Movement defendants. State v. Means, 268 N.W.2d 802 (South Dakota, June 20, 1978), original PDF page 5.
