Just took a pass through the various Rideau cases. I was mistaken about the exculpatory evidence. The first conviction was reversed because the DA played the tape of Rideau's confession on local TV and then the court refused a change of venue. SCOTUS held that it was a "kangaroo court." The second conviction was reversed in 1969 because of a ruling in another case, I can't find the details, I think it had to do with the way cases were prosecuted in Calcasieu Parish. The third conviction was reversed because blacks were excluded from the jury.
