Louisiana seeks third trial for Angola Three member
The state pushes for a third trial for Albert Woodfox, the last of the Angola Three, amid ongoing claims of his innocence in the 1972 prison guard murder. A federal judge ordered his immediate release, saying Louisiana has not proven he was responsible, while Woodfox’s case has been the subject of documentaries, journalism awards, and plays. Teenie Rogers, Brent Miller’s widow, remains unconvinced and continues her independent investigation.
