Not only has he spent more than half of his life in a cell the size of a parking space, he is fighting to prove his innocence in a legal process rife with flaws.Earlier this year, a federal judge ordered Albert's immediate release and told the state of Louisiana that it could not mount a third trial against him. But just last week, an appeals court overturned that decision. If the authorities don't act, he will be forced to stand trial a third time for a murder he maintains he did not commit. If the Attorney General of Louisiana had not taken every opportunity to block Albert's release, he would already be a free man.
This is not justice.
The UN expert on torture has called Albert's prolonged isolation in solitary confinement torture.
