A federal judge has given Louisiana a four-month deadline to dismiss charges or retry a former Black Panther whose murder conviction for the 1972 killing of a prison guard was recently overturned. The prisoner, Albert Woodfox, and two other former Black Panthers are known as the Angola Three. Many believe they were framed for their political activism. Woodfox’s conviction was overturned after a judge ruled his lawyer failed to properly challenge the credibility of witnesses who later admitted they were coerced into falsely testifying. Woodfox has spent more than three decades in solitary confinement.
