    Mumia's words cut deep, I can actually "feel" the spirit of his fear and terror in a country where, even today, you can be killed, walking down the street, or driving your car, or sitting in your home, while being black. I am over here in the Caribbean, a rainbow nation, where there is no such thing, and I can feel the terror!!! It is gut-wrenching and a stain on humanity!!!

      And also: Beating the rap does not always mean you're innocent. 😪
      Mumia is in a trap of his own making & he knows it. He thought back at that time that he would be in control of his defense/image. He did not know enough & he was wrong. Now the only thing that's kept him alive is the very legal system he thought he'd "work". He has tried everything but agood lawyer. Derschowitz & his "Innocence Project" wouldn't get involved. Now, why was that? His only hope has been his brother & he ain't talkin'. How does that happen? Was the man ever subpoenaed? You don't just walk away fron those. You do & there are APBs out for you all over the place. Yet abt the brother: nothing. You can't make a case that that wasn't on purpose. He's the only one who really KNOWS & he won't come forward to.get his "innocent" brother out if prison. He's either one of the most selfish, cowardly men who.ever lived or...
      OR this was an agreed on strategy.

The way this documentary was edited and put together was scary.

Im not not saying one thing or the other, but go and look at pictures of people who definitely shot someone and research how they act, you might find Phil Spector and argue you are surprised he only had a killcount of 1. But then you find out Colonel Sanders Once Shot A Business Rival In A Gunfight Over A Sign. When it comes to the nature of how Jamal acts, go look at Ted Bundy, he has a vivid body languish and gestures with his hands like Jamal, he enunciates words like Jamal does, he comes of as if he is learned, as do Jamal. Bundy was somewhat erratic, but he is illustrating that he was capable to act not unlike Jamal. I want to make clear im not comparing the two beyond this point, Bundy was a pure monster. What im getting at, don't judge a book by it's cover, it is a cliche but the thing is cliches are a thing, because they get repeated and often times this is because they are true. So my opinion is does Mumia look like a killer? Sure he does, but so do we, he also look like someone who could be innocent. I think there are some red flags, as the gun that was found on the crime scene, the one belonging to Jamal, with spent cartridges, who would show up brandishing an empty gun under any of the alleged circumstances no matter what you believe, that is an odd thing to do. I have to reach to make that make sense. Then there are the thing with his brother everyone i bringing up... that's odd too, i have to reach again. The police where being goofs with collecting samples, when they did not find gunpowder residue it was not necessarily because none was present, just that it was not done, but lack of evidence is not evidence. Im having to reach again to make the story be true.

The note was written on a piece of scrap paper, and was not a part of (and was never intended to be a part of) his professional findings. I think the fact that this documenty does not mention the brother, proves it to be somewhat bias, and the only source i have for the witnesses being coerced, is in fact this documentary and people who uses it as a factual source makes it problematic.

    Veronica Jones is an incredibly brave woman, and that demon of a prosecutor and those scumlicking cops could not shake her conviction, no matter how hard they tried. What an inspiring woman.
    I have no doubt in my mind that Mumia Abu-Jamal is an innocent man. The evidence presented by the defense, the evidence that was not permitted to be seen by the jury, as well as the new evidence that has come to light thanks to Amnesty International, proves it beyond a shadow of a doubt.

    First of all, I think a judge that was a former member of The Shriners would likely have recused himself from presiding over a murder case involving one of the beloved mini-car drivers in a parade. Then, he hears the whole appellate process which would have required him to find his own courtroom somehow was out of order.
    Secondly, the coroner wrote down .44 caliber for a reason. That reason is that he knew it was a .44. He then claimed he was not a gun expert. While this may true, any coroner in any major city is a projectile expert simply by the number of autopsies they perform on murder victims. The difference between a .38 and a .44 is large and noticeable. As a size comparison, if you tried to load a .38 bullet into a .44 caliber revolver, the .38 would fall right thru the chamber. It is Dirty Harry vs. Frank Cannon.
    Third, arresting the gal on nothing charges after she changed her testimony is telling. That looked bad from every possible angle, yet the cops still did it. It spoke volumes of the PD's attitude of invincibility - no matter how obviously corrupt it looked - and was obviously a message to any other witnesses that would dare to come forward.
    Fourth, the female witness with her address redacted, that was never contacted by the defense, and years later said she can't remember details. There are certain things that happen in one's life that they do not forget. Witnessing a murder ranks pretty high on that list. Maybe you forget a license plate #. Maybe the exact time on the clock. Perhaps the TV show you were watching. But you aren't forgetting what happened as you watched it go down, recounted it not only to police, but likely to scores of times to neighbors, friends, and maybe family over the years. And the thousands of times it has replayed in your head. Nope.

Guy with dread locks ran from the scene. Mumia parked his cab and got out and asked the officer if he was alright. The officer saw Mumia had dreadlocks and noticed he was African American and assumed that Mumia was the guy that shot him, so he shot Mumia. They had to pin it on someone, this is back in 81 racial tension wasn't good. Plus Mumia participated in the positive black movement that stood up for the rights of blacks.

      The 2 guys seen running from the scene were probably operatives of the Philadelphia Police Intelligence Division ... paid hitmen.
      A number of dirty ass cops, in Philly, wanted Daniel Faulkner dead ... because he was working with the Feds, to expose them.
      That's why Faulkner was killed. And former Philly Mayor, Frank Rizzo, knew who Mumia was, and had a vendetta against him.
      During a press conference, in either 1979 or 1980, where Mumia was present, he asked Rizzo a very provocative question, about one of Rizzo's lies.
      Apparently Rizzo, in response, looked directly at Mumia and said something like "We're going to get you. We're going to take you out."

      Once, while I was seeking care in an ER - after he had stood flat-footed and allowed a full-on assault by goons on his watch, an attending MD demurred under his breath to me, "Intelligence gets you into trouble." I had never met this man, nor had any prior interactions with anyone on his staff, under his watch, and gave them NO reason to have treated me with such disrespect, disdain, and hatred.
      Intelligence in a Black man was even less tolerated then. Note - even at the time this documentary was released, the PPD had lost all 23 of the cases that had been brought against it at that point. It could just be that the whole apparatus - police, prosecutors, judges, fraternal order, et al - reached a point where they didn't want to suffer the humiliation and indignation of losing yet another case, and abu Jamal got caught in the middle of that. Many are looking toward reason, for eyewitnesses, for deep and convincing explanatory statements and evidence, "beyond the shadow of a doubt" - but SO LITTLE value is placed on a Black person's life [freedom, health, spiritual well-being] in the US; it could be as simple as that.
