Follow-ups on Rideau

The Times-Picayune reports on Wilbert Rideua's first day as a free man. In the time since his release, Rideau has already been contacted by "Nightline," "Dateline NBC," and the "Today" Show, in addition to book and movie agents. Apparently a pragmatic, Rideau has conducted a few interviews already, but indicates that he will take time to evaluate his options, noting:"I don't even have health insurance. I guess I'll see what offers come in."

The Advocate also offers this AP story, which provides a few insights into his prison life and outlines some of his future plans.
