A former Black Panther held in solitary confinement for more than 40 years in Louisiana has filed a bid for compassionate release after being given just weeks to live. Herman Wallace and two others known as the Angola Three were placed in solitary in 1972 following their conviction for murdering a prison guard. The Angola 3 and their supporters say they were framed for their political activism. According to his attorneys, Wallace, 71 years old, has been diagnosed with terminal liver cancer and is just weeks from death. He is seeking compassionate release to spend his last days in hospice care.
