Moore, whose signature appears on the August 22nd COINTELPRO memo about Larry Minard's murder, was Chief of the Racial Intelligence Section.  Moore, when asked about the illegality of COINTELPRO actions would later tell a U.S. Senate committee, "We never gave it a thought."

 

Ed Poindexter and Mondo we Langa, targets of the FBI plot to withhold evidence, were convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment.  Both men remain in prison 38 years later at the maximum-security Nebraska State Penitentiary where they continue to deny any involvement in the crime.

 

Poindexter has a new trial request pending before the Nebraska Supreme Court over the withheld evidence and conflicting police testimony.  No date for a decision has been announced.
