I can tell by this NPOV article that this is a prince of a fellow. There should be more such black panthers in this world.69.19.14.43 21:59, 26 January 2007 (UTC)ScottCandideReply

Since this is supposed to be an encyclopedia, it might be of interest to some readers to note how Mr. Wilkerson came to be in Angola and for what crime (assuming there was a crime) he was exonerated. --CliffC (talk) 01:01, 30 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

He was exonerated?

edit

The third member of the "Angola Three" spent 29 years in isolation before his conviction was overturned in 2001. Robert King, known as Robert King Wilkerson in the 1970s, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit murder and was freed.

Pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit murder doesn't sound like being exonerated to me! 218.18.75.218 (talk) 15:44, 9 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Name

edit

According to King's own Web site, he no longer goes by the name "Robert King Wilkerson". He has changed his name to "Robert Hillary King". Proxy User (talk) 16:55, 25 December 2008 (UTC)Reply
