Ex-Black Panther Released after 43 Years in Solitary Confinement | News | teleSUR English: Woodfox is one of three inmates known as the 'Angola Three' who were thrown into isolation in 1972, after being accused of killing a guard during a prison riot.
Over the course of the years, Woodfox was twice convicted at trial for the guard's murder, but both convictions were overturned on the grounds of racial prejudice and lack of evidence. He has been waiting in solitary confinement for the third trial to begin.
U.S. district judge James Brady, who presided over the case from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, ordered Woodfox’s unconditional release and ruled that he could not be tried again for the guard's death.
“The only just remedy is an unconditional writ of habeas corpus barring retrial of Mr. Albert Woodfox and releasing Mr. Woodfox from custody immediately,” Brady wrote. His lawyers, George Kendall and Carine Williams, went to seek Woodfox' release Monday night.
