Ex-Black Panther convicted in officer's death dies in prison

(AP) — One of two former Black Panthers convicted in the 1970 bombing death of an Omaha police officer has died in prison.

The pair maintained their innocence and argued they were targeted by an FBI program that undermined radical political groups.

The Nebraska Supreme Court ruled on an appeal that involved the 911 tape, and it decided in 1983 that the recording wasn't enough to create reasonable doubt about Rice's guilt.
