A federal inmate’s family on Friday offered a $250,000 reward for information leading to a murder conviction in his death.
Kenneth Michael Trentadue, 44, died in August 1995 at the Federal Transfer Center in Oklahoma City. His family contends FBI agents killed him because they mistook him for a suspect in the Oklahoma City bombing. The federal government and Oklahoma County District Attorney Bob Macy concluded the convicted bank robber hanged himself.
"There are a lot of people out there that know what happened. They’ve had no incentive to come forward, and we think this might be the incentive,” said the inmate’s brother, Utah attorney Jesse Trentadue.
David Prater, current district attorney, said, "If any credible evidence comes to light in this or any other cold case, we’ll always take a look at it.”

Did agents bungle US terror bomb?
You can find background on the King Lincoln case here on The BRAD BLOG, as well as on this site here and here, but in brief, Ohio voters filed a lawsuit alleging voting rights violations and election irregularities in the 2004 Presidential election in the Buckeye State.
Arnebeck is alleging a racketeering scheme to "to corrupt elections in the United States over the course of this decade." According to the letter [pdf] he sent to Karen Handel, GA's secretary of state, Mr. Arnebeck is now also looking into election shenanigans in Georgia during the 2002 election as part of that conspiracy. (That election saw former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman unseated in highly suspicious electoral circumstances. Extensive coverage of Don Siegelman's torment and imprisonment can be found here on The BRAD BLOG.)
We had a chance to have a quick chat over the phone with Mr. Arnebeck.
VRWhy have you filed a document hold request in Georgia? After all, this case is about Ohio, isn't it?
Mr. ArnebeckUnder our state racketeering statute, we do have the ability to reach out where the activity occurs in other states as part of the enterprise over which Ohio has jurisdiction. We can reach out and address it in the larger context.
VRWhat methods do you believe Karl Rove has used to cover up the alleged election theft in Ohio and in Georgia?
Mr. ArnebeckRove is a common criminal, and his technique is to suppress the targeted classes of voters, defame the Democratic candidate, and then tamper with the votes, preferably using electronic voting machines. He creates the appearance that the defamatory attack worked and reversed the pre-election polling, and then he attacks the exit polling as being not accurate.
VRHow could Rove get away with stealing the 2004 Presidential election?
Mr. ArnebeckIn that case, Rove used the Iraq War as cover. He could paint people as unpatriotic for daring to question the integrity of the wartime commander in chief. I believe Rove destroyed emails that would have revealed his role in extending that war.
VRBesides using these methods on the public, do you think Rove also tried to play the press or people in the government using the same techniques?
Mr. ArnebeckHe probably pitched the FBI, the press, and others with the same line, which he could do quite effectively from his policy position in the White House.
VRDo you think these election fraud schemes have any particular impact on the American South?
Mr. ArnebeckIn the case of the South, it's a particularly heinous approach because he's attacking the very concept of the South as having any tradition of honor, because he's suggesting that the defamatory attack is effective and people are persuaded by it.
VRAny special thoughts regarding the 2002 Senate race between the then-incumbent Max Cleland and Saxby Chambliss, and Chambliss' ad showing a picture of then-Sen. Cleland next to pictures of Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein?
Mr. ArnebeckIn the case of Max Cleland, Rove suggests people are persuaded by it [the attack ad] even though it's obviously a very phony attack. It's really a defamation of the South and its tradition of honor.

Three police officers beat up handcuffed Iraq war veteran
The pictures of police brutality that will shock all of Britain.
These shameful and inexcusable scenes show a war hero who served his country in Iraq and Afghanistan fearing for his life amid a violent and unprovoked assault by police.
Lance Corporal Mark Aspinall – highly praised by his commanding officer for bravery against the Taliban in Afghanistan – was set upon by three uniformed officers on his home town High Street.
The sickening attack – caught in forensic detail on CCTV – led a crown court judge to label it one of the worst examples of police aggression he had ever seen. Yet, in a travesty of justice, it was Mark who was at first convicted by magistrates of attacking the policemen.. despite the video footage clearly showing he was the victim.
Last night, Mark, 24, who had 14 head and face injuries, said: “I was scared for my life. I was being battered and my head was being pushed into the ground.
“I remember thinking, ‘I’m going to die here. I can’t believe I’ve survived Afghanistan and Iraq and and now I’m going to die on this main road in my home town at the hands of the police’.
“Yet I was the one who ended up in the dock, not the officers.”
Mark was convicted by magistrates of two counts of police assault – and his ordeal only ended when Crown Court judge John Phipps watched the damning footage and quashed the verdict on appeal.
He said: “I am shocked and appalled at the level of police violence shown here”, adding that he had “great concerns” about the footage and effectively branding the policemen liars by saying: “I would go as far as to say the statements (by the officers) contain untruths.”
The nine-minute video shows PC Peter Lightfoot punching Mark eight times.
Mark had been out for drinks with friends in Wigan, Lancs, and left the town’s Walkabout bar at 2.40am on Sunday July 27. Police had been called to deal with a man said to be causing a nuisance to paramedics.
Special constable Lightfoot, 39 – a volunteer officer whose main job is as a van driver – and his two colleagues wrongly believed Mark was their man. He explained he had done nothing wrong, but they chased him and threw him to the floor.
“They asked me what I was doing and I told them I was just standing around. They came up and pushed me and I said ‘Don’t f***ing touch me’.
“I had been drinking, I was pretty leathered, I know that... but I was NOT being violent.”
The footage opens with an unsteady Mark drunkenly standing in the street and calling out to the officers.
As can be clearly seen, he stands 10ft from them in the middle of the road as they stand on the pavement.
Suddenly, the three officers move as one and start running across the road towards Mark.
Startled, he falls over and as he gets to his feet one officer rugby-tackles him, while the other two help bundle him to the ground. Then the vicious assault begins.
PC Lightfoot, who weighs more than 20st, bangs Mark’s head on the road twice before leaning over and shouting into his ear, while his two colleagues kneel on Mark’s legs.
Mark, in pain, tries to kick out and bites one of the officer’s legs in self-defence.
His punishment is fierce and immediate. The officer pushes his booted foot in Mark’s face while PC Lightfoot grabs his hair and repeatedly scrapes his face on the tarmac.
Even though Mark is lying unmoving on the ground, PC Lightfoot punches him twice, checks to see who is watching, then punches him another six times on the back and shoulders.
The eight pump-action blows come in eight seconds. PC Lightfoot stops the beating only as people driving past slow down to watch. The footage shows Mark pinned to the floor for a total of five minutes and 16 seconds. The most brutal section lasts for one minute 35 seconds.
Eventually, Mark was bundled into a police van in handcuffs, taken to Wigan police station and kept in custody for 20 hours.
He was charged with two counts of police assault and a public order offence – swearing at the officers. On September 22, at Wigan magistrates court, the three officers read statements to the court that Mark had been “behaving violently” and “issued challenges”.
Three JPs found Mark guilty of the two assaults – despite viewing the footage. In a final insult, he was ordered to pay PC Lightfoot £100 in compensation and one of the other officers £150.
He was also ordered to serve 200 hours community service and given a three-month suspended prison sentence. Mark, who returned from Afghanistan in February and was working his notice in the Army at the time of attack, said: “I went in to the Army thinking this country was worth fighting for.
“I put my life on the line every day in Afghanistan, so to come back and be treated like this for no reason was just so depressing. My plan was to join the fire service when I came out of the Army – but I was rejected because of my conviction. It meant I was unemployable for anything I wanted to do.”
Determined to clear his name, Mark lodged an appeal. And at Liverpool crown court on November 13, Judge Phipps saw the footage and asked incredulously: “Where is this man of violence?”
Mark said: “In court the police said I was out of control, but you can see I was just lying there. I was drunk, I’ll admit that, but I wasn’t causing trouble. I swore at the officers after they pushed me, but I was not challenging them or threatening them. At no point in the CCTV can you see me being violent.
“It was awful. I had come back from fighting in Afghanistan and now, on community service, I was painting a school as a convict, standing next to men who were drug dealers and robbers.”
Yesterday Mark received the £250 compensation back from the officers.
Brought up in Wigan by supermarket assistant mum Kathleen, 59, and his factory engineer dad John, 61, Mark revealed: “My grandad had been in the Army and when I joined my parents were so proud of me.
“I lost two friends – one in Iraq and one in Afghanistan – and although I loved the Army I wanted to come out and try something else.”
He added: “I’m delighted to have cleared my name, but it is scandalous that I was treated like this.”
At his home in Orrell, Wigan, PC Lightfoot, a Special Constable for 19 years, refused to discuss his attack on Mark saying: “Go away. You are not welcome.”
Special constables have the same power of arrest as regular full-time officers and are subject to the same rules, but are not paid.
A police spokesman said: “Greater Manchester Police’s professional standards branch is investigating the conduct of officers on the Wigan division.
“One officer has had his duties restricted and another two are being investigated.
“The matter has been voluntarily referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission, but an independent complaint has also been made.”

"We had the right policies, the right process and the right voting system in place, and yes, November 4 was a tell-tale sign for me," said Patten.
Jeff Hastings, BOE Chairman, said the county has overcome many obstacles.
"As a board of four individuals who really didn't know each other and a staff that has been completely revamped and new voting equipment, we've really done a lot," said Hastings.
Assistant Secretary Chris Nance helped the Board implement new directives from Secretary Brunner.
"I look forward to continuing to work together and I have faith in the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections' ability to face the ever-changing administrative challenges that lie ahead," said Nance.
Hastings said the announcement was an end to a tumultuous year and a half.
"Unless you're involved with the process, you really can't understand how, frankly, emotional it is to know how far we've come in the last year and a half," said Hastings.
©2008 by ONN.Recognizing that Cuyahoga County has stopped embarrassing the state on election night, Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner today released the county board of elections from administrative oversight.
Brunner said the change reflects renewed confidence in the leadership of the board during the primary and general elections this year. She ordered the county in early 2008 to scrap its touch-screen voting machines in favor of paper ballots, after elections officials there struggled to explain unexpected server crashes in the 2007 general election and why 20 percent of the vote-verifying paper receipts spit out by the electronic voting machines were unreadable.
In March 2007, Brunner asked all four members of the Cuyahoga elections board to resign. All four complied, though Robert T. Bennett, chairman of the Ohio Republican Party, put up an initial fight before agreeing to step down.
“This action I am taking today is a victory for the voters of Cuyahoga County,” Brunner said. The board’s leadership has worked to “provide an elections system that the voters in the county can be confident in while effectively removing partisanship as an ingredient to the board dynamic.”
During administrative oversight, a designation intended to provide support for boards having trouble, Brunner had been in weekly contact with the board via conference calls and other meetings.
“By releasing the board from administrative oversight, I have faith in this boards’ ability to meet the ever-changing challenges of election administration and to provide the best service to voters in Cuyahoga County in the future,” Brunner said.
