For his own sake he needs to just stay in prison. He will honestly have a better life in there than he would in whatever life awaits him outside of prison.
At this point he has a 0% chance of adjusting back to the outside world and is probably treated pretty well and respected where he’s at.

Dude doesn't deserve anything, should have been taken 100 miles off the coast and left to drown.
Or strapped into a pile of ants.
Or burned alive.

True. I figured his only loved ones that would be left would be siblings (possibly). But parents almost assuredly dead, definitely grandparents are dead. No spouse so probably no children especially if he went in at 16/17. Life sucks for this guy either way so he's getting what he deserves.

My thoughts are that a man lost his life, and another man is asking for a chance to live out a life he still has away from jail, a choice that is impossible for the dead man to make. No. I don’t think he should be let out, and not because he isn’t a good guy or whatever after all these years, but because it’s a sentence to establish justice in a case where a man lost his life in the line of duty.

Yep. If I was family of Julia Ferguson there is no way that Wilbert Rideau would've been alive long after getting out of jail. I could never let something like that go. He would suffer a punishment tenfolds worse then what he did to her. I would make sure of it. That's disgusting that they let him out.

Killed a sheriff's deputy? Gotta go for the death penalty, brah.

Agree but they couldn't because of his age.

I see that now after I read the article lol.

Amazing how that piece of shite has more rights than the woman he killed in cold blood.

The sentence is life without parole.
Not according to the US Supreme Court.
He was a juvenile when he got life without parole. The Supreme Court banned that practice years ago and made it retroactive to his case back in 2015.

I disagree with you.
A life sentence without parole is at complete odds with a child's capacity for change and he was a teenagers are still kids in my view.

I don't care how old you are. If you kill someone (obviously not in self-defense), you need to die, and at the very least rot in prison the rest of your life. If the victim can never live in society again, neither can you.
Being a kid is a bullshite liberal arse excuse. I don't give a frick if he's a saint now. He has to pay for what he did.

He can apply for commutation where the sentence can be changed from life to xxx number of years. If granted he is eligible for parole and gets another hearing, or dimunition of sentence which will automatically let him out of prison by law. The public has no idea what goes on behind closed doors of the Dept. of Corrections. With General Akbar as Governor he'll sign that commutation in a heartbeat.

I would agree with you if we were talking about grown arse adults with fully developed brains and minds who made rational choices with their crimes and clearly knew what they were doing.

One of prison's stated goals is rehabilitation and nobody is above or below that at all.

He was a minor when he committed the crime. A couple of years back, the USSC ruled that sentencing minors to life w/o the possibility of parole was unconstitutional. So now he gets to have a parole hearing every year or three (I don't know what the interval is).
All I know about this case is that he shot a BRPD cop near Scotlandville High School in 1963. But anyone with any sense of history knows that the early/mid-60s wasn't exactly the greatest era of racial equality and fair treatment of blacks. It's not out of the realm of possibilities that he ought to rot at Angola. It's also not completely out of the realm of possibilities that this guy might have gotten fricked. Not extremely likely, but certainly possible.
And frick Wilbert Rideau.

It also isn't out of the realm of possibility he is lying when he says that he didn't shoot the officer when he had his hands up asking him not to shoot him.
