• Black bank robber that murdered White woman teller - now "prison journalist" - fourth trial begins
  Defense lawyer George Kendall did not deny that Wilbert Rideau, now 62, stabbed Julia Ferguson during a robbery, but told the jury that Rideau should be found guilty of manslaughter -- a verdict that would result in his release for time already served. Rideau has been convicted three times of killing Ferguson. A federal court said he was entitled to another trial because "blacks were excluded" from the grand jury that indicted Rideau, who is black. Prosecutor Rick Bryant described how Ferguson begged for her life after Rideau drove her and two other bank employees out of town. The other two victims were shot but survived. - Ref: The Legal Case: 1961 - 2001 - (Tyrone N. Butts)
• Rideau Statement to FBI (1961)
  "...They got out as I ordered, and I then emptied the six shots from my revolver at the three of them. I recall saying nothing to them after I ordered them out of the car and before I shot them. Mr. Hickman ran, but I knew I had hit him, and I heard him fall into the bayou near the bridge and I figured he would drown. Dora fell directly in front of me on the west shoulder of the road, and I believed I had killed her. When I shot, Julia fell down on the same side of the road near Dora. When Hickman ran off, I followed him for a few yards and then returned to the car. As I neared the car, Julia tried to get to her feet. I went to her and with the hunting knife, I stabbed her once, twice or maybe three times, and left her for dead. I believed they were all dead, and I intended that they be dead..."
