On August 20, 1995, two days after he arrived at the Federal Transfer Center in Oklahoma City, parole violator Kenneth Trentadue was dead. Federal officials said he had committed suicide. Despite the kind offer of the feds to cremate the body, the family insisted on getting Kenneth's remains. They then photographed his many injuries which included two massive blows to the skull, bruises on his body, and fingertip marks under his arm. The feds had his cell cleaned immediately rather than treating it as a crime scene as they are required to do. An Oklahoma City Medical Examiner's Investigator, Kevin Rowland, was eventually allowed into the cell which he coated with luminol, a blood-detecting substance. He said, "the place lit up like a Christmas tree."
The feds, including the FBI, have consistently backed the suicide call. Currently, the Senate Judiciary Committee is investigating. The story was covered in the September, '96 "GQ" in an article titled "A Case of Homicide?"

You have to read Hard Evidence by David Fisher. It will renew you faith in the "Feds" that are clean.
Kenneths brother, Jesse, was once my attorney, so this travisty of justice hits close to home. The news from yesterdays news( 10 Oct 97) from the so called Jsutice Department was quite distressing. After seeing the autopsy photos, I cannot see how anyone can rule that this was nothing other thatn cold blooded murder. But where do we go from here? Jesse will not let this die. Hopefuly, the DA of the state of Oklahoma will bring the truth to the top. Janet Reno and her cronies are too busy with the partisan politics of the defending/accusing of the Clinton administration, that she has allowed this miscarriage of justice. Senator Hatch (R, Utah) has been involved in the search for justice on this case. Although I personally do not care for the man, if he can bring the truth out, then more power to him.

I personally became aware of this story as of March 3, 1998 by viewing Leeza's talk show. Without question, the government has managed to suppress all evidence related to this case in its efforts to conceal an outright murder. This is an absolutely tragic story, as well as a travesty of justice that places another blemish upon us all as Americans, for it can happen to anyone while behind the walls of a prison cell unless some form of change takes place. Just last week, an inmate in the California area was killed during a "BloodSport" event that guards allowed to take place. After learning about this story through the TV show I'd seen, I thought I would search out for more that I could learn on this story, and perhaps anything I might be able to do on a political level..If anyone can make any suggestions, please email me at the following address Lerxst3@worldnet.att.net Thank you..

Ladies & Gentlemen: This is just another example of our Federal Tax Dollars at work! These are the very same people who brought you WACO, Ruby-Ridge and many other atrocitys! Federal Police =Gestopo! The lies ,coverups and most of these Scum are Masons. The Wrath of real Americans are not far off,these Tradtors will reap the WhirlWind when the U.S.A restores it Lawful people to the right places! Never Surrender! to Despotism ,and Nazism!

Par for the course. These Fed's you refer to are just run of the mill people who are expected to do above average things. If you want above average actions - hire above average people. Compromise is the first step towards mediocrity. I can except it, can you?
My brother is confined to this fadility, and currently pressing charges against 2 guards that continually harrass him and threaten him. It's one thing to be sent to prison, but it's another when their life is in danger every day, not by other prisoners, but by Federal employees. I don't want to get my brother back in a body bag.
I am from Grove Oklahoma, I now live elsewhere but I have been fighting for 2 1/2 years to fight the state of Oklahoma system. They are nothing but a bunch of crooks. Last night, I sent my letters to the president, vice-president and every Primetime news cast. Dateline, forty eight hours, 20/20, I would suggest this. I am having to go outside of Oklahoma to get a lawyer for justice. I would never let this die until I seen the so called officials that did this pay for their unjustly, ungodly crime. You go! My prayers are with you.
He probably provoked the officers and they had no choice but to beat him down. They went a little too far though, they shouldnt have killed him.
Jesse Trentadue is my uncle. This story goes very deep and is 100% true. Everything was set up, all the way back to his"routine" traffic stop. This isn't a story of provocation by an inmate or over zealous guards. This is an extreme example of how the Federal Government can go about their business, doing whatever they wish in the full light of day, so long as they deny all. Do the research yourself and you will see. Need real proof or hard evidence? The Trentadue Family just won their civil case against the government after a criminal suit was blocked. "bull shit"? Again, do the research. Or just wait till it hits closer to home...
All i can say is that he wasnt the first and he wont be the last... R.I.P GarF
Perhaps a guard or someone tried to rape him and he defended himself but someone killed him, or perhaps they managed to rape him then killed him so his story wouldn't be heard and they wouldn't be put in prison. If not than the guy could have been the victim of a conspiracy and his murder was to get rid of him to cover everything up. He could have witnessed a crime. Maybe his cell mate killed him and the guards or who ever didn't want their reputations, careers, etc ruined because of their stupidity. How ever it didn't say what the guy was on parole for (if he did do the crime), if he did something so horrible and the judicial system didn't seem to give the right justice, well, the guy may of deserved what he got. Although, judging from the other stories I've heard about FBI and police coverups...I don't think so!
spider-wg014.proxy.aol.com. Provoked? Provoking doesn't give the cops a right to beat someone down, especially with that much force. There is a thing called freedom of speech. If those innocent people in prison could vote, I wonder who they would vote for. Perhaps they're not allowed to vote so no political administration can take advantage of their situation and work it out so they would win the election. Like: vote for me and I'll make sure you have a shorter sentence or I'll make sure those who framed you will be put where you are and you can beat them and I'll let you out and make sure you win lots of money when you sue the judicial system or whoever, but only if you vote for me. Yup, prisoners would be the biggest minority in the voting polls section of the paper. It's all some weird cycle. The only way they should be able to beat someone down is if that person is physically abusing another person for no reason except pleasure, but not if the person is defending their self, giving people a penalty for messing up their life or another innocent person's(which provoking or physical brutality or whatever you can do is the right thing to do in situations like that) but if they just want to abuse that person for what ever purposeless reason those kind of abusers have which is some weird pleasure and they are assaulting the person, they should be beat down. That's pretty sick of you to say the guy could of been provoking as if he deserved it if he was! May you be punished!
Cops are shit and can't wait to kill someone!
WHAT COLOR WAS HE
I would like to add that it's getting worse and it's going to get even worse, look at what's happening in the FEDERAL GOVERMENT now. we have 5 of the biggest pro New World Order people in the world in top offices, from Bush down.... I think WE THE PEOPLE should rise up and defend our selfs and what our founding fathers started.. FREEDOWN. all I have to say is if we don't it's all over, mark my words....... freedom "BULLSHIT" WAS A LONG TIME AGO....... Hilter is Back, his new name is G.W. Bush.........................
I don't think the story stopped with the OKC M.E.'s examiner was allowed into the victims cell. What was the final outcome of this apalling and obscene incident? BTW...GREAT website. Thanks for your hard work.
The more I read into this case the more outraged I get. This man left behind a wife and a son. This is why I am so proud of the fact that I am working towards a career in this field to assist somehow. This case in itself really bothers me to my inner core.
I'm in IL, and it's just as bad here. The police/courts/prisons are all in cahoots! Are we going to take a stand against this corruption? Kenny was oviously murdered. The lack of honesty and investigation into this mans death while in state custody is enough to warrant a large civil suit. However, winning a civil suit doesnt make public WHAT actually happened to Kenny, and WHO actually murdered him. I am of the opinion that anyone who covered up the truth or failed to disclose information relevant to Kennys death, are guilty of conspiracy and organized crime. I'm sorry for Kennys family and friends. I am sickened by this story. Please send me more info on this case. Exposure is the way to fight injustice. Gog bless you!
