🖨️ Print Article

Mumia Abu Jamal supporters ask: Can the prosecutor who tried his case be its judge on appeals and subsequent legislation? What if the prosecutor/judge openly expressed his readiness to "fry the nigger"? This may be the legal wrinkle to invalidate the false conviction of one of the nation's leading political prisoners. Also Kevin Cook, the brother of Mumia Abu Jamal thanks supporters, and Mumia weighs in on the maryrdom of Eric and Erica Garner.
