Mumia's 35 years in prison, much of it on death row, in the 1981 killing of a Philadelphia police officer, has been marked by many courtroom dramas, punctuated by massive mobilizations of his worldwide supporters.

Dr Fernandez explained the complex legal issue that is now before the Pennsylvania courts.
