Mumia Abu-Jamal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Mumia's defenders often describe this as a case where a public defender is thrust upon an indigent defendant (as happens in many cases), pointing out that he was picked by Sabo without Jamal's consent, specifically because he was not a very good lawyer. Critics of Jamal's supporters say that the supporters amass numerous claims of small errors at trial to build their case for a larger conspiracy, and that the Jamal supporters are unable to make a convincing case about the overall crime and Jamal's involvement with the murder of a police officer. Jamal's supporters argue that 20/20 had a strong bias against Jamal on the grounds 20/20 discredited a witness who testified in favor of Jamal (Jenkins) because she was a prostitute, but failed to discredit another key witness who testified against Jamal (White) who was also a prostitute. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Mumia_Abu-Jamal   (3755 words)

USA: A life in the balance - the case of Mumia Abu-Jamal - Amnesty International Mumia Abu-Jamal's lack of meaningful legal representation was compounded by the refusal of Judge Ribner, the pre-trial judge, to grant the defence adequate funds to employ an investigator, pathologist or ballistics expert.

Free Mumia? Jamal's decision to act as his own attorney at his 1982 trial left Weinglass with a trial record that is extremely damaging to his client. Mumia's ties with the cult had become so strong, in fact, that he had left his part-time job as a correspondent for public radio. Shortly before the Faulkner shooting, Jamal had covered a trial at which MOVE members were convicted of killing a white policeman during a siege at one of their fortified houses. www.frontpagemag.com /Articles/Printable.asp?ID=3642   (4935 words)

Mumia Abu-Jamal If the State succeeds in executing Mumia Abu-Jamal, he will be the first Black revolutionary to be legally executed in the United Sates since the days of slavery. Mumia's spell in the Black Panthers, as did his work as a journalist, mainly radio, as the 'voice of the voiceless', brought him to the attention of the FBI and the local Philadelphia Police.

More Than 17 Years Later, Mumia Abu-Jamal Still Guilty Nor does the defense team explain how a gun registered to Mumia Abu-Jamal was found laying by his side at the crime scene, how it contained five spent shells of the same make as the bullets that killed Officer Faulkner, or why he was wearing a holster. Among the claims of those making the trek to Philadelphia this month for the "Millions for Mumia" event are that the jury was racially biased, suitable legal representation was denied to the defendant, and that the trial was politicized by the prosecution. Shaped by the disastrous police bombing of the MOVE headquarters in May of 1985, many Philadelphia-based Mumia supporters believe that area police are capable of doing anything to frame one who was so steadfast in his attacks upon the local system of criminal justice. www.academia.org /campus_reports/1999/april_1999_2.html   (2313 words)
