- The fight for freedom for Muma Abu-Jamal, the former Black Panther and award-winning journalist who has been in prison for over 41 years, has been set back after a new trial appeal was denied. A Philadelphia judge dismissed the appeal despite new evidence of racism and corruption within the prosecution, police and judges. Noelle Hanrahan, Founder and Director of Prison Radio, discusses the next steps and what it will take to free the world-renowned political prisoner

Stop the lies! He's in prison for murder, not his political beliefs or activities! He's not a political prisoner, he's a cold-blooded cop killer! Smarten up!
Thank you for this interview!!!! #FreeMumiaAbuJamal
He killed a man
Thank you.
Law in the US : Politics by other means become progressively difficult & painful when the Advocating civil liberation movement is winning for all people, even those opposed.
Would love to see you at BT news keep a closer eye and more frequent updates on Mumia. This report comes almost two weeks after his last denial.
To this day, Mr. Jamal (whose real name, by the way, is Wesley Cook) still does not talk about the events surrounding the death of Officer Faulkner. His own brother, William Cook, who witnessed the murder, will not talk about the incident. Why not?
Because he's guilty and no one has proven otherwise!
@@brianpomeroy9624 Amen, little brother.
It’s so hard to watch. Incredible how he survives this, (which he barely does apparently and logically).
This is the system everyone who really challenges it is up to.
Well let’s see:
Police officer had a gun.
Mumia had a gun.
The bullets that went in the back of the officer came from the same caliber gun as Mumia. Mumia’s gun was a revolver and was found to have spent shell casings in it.
The bullet taken out of Mumia came from the officer’s gun. 🤔
What possibly could’ve happened?
I'll tell you what happened: liberal propaganda. These people know he's guilty. This is payback for black oppression, police brutality, and racism. He's their poster boy for freedom. Unfortunately, it's all false in this case and Mumia Abu-Jamal is guilty. It's sickening.
There is no proof that the bullet in Mumia came from the officer's gun. No ballistics testing was done that could have proved or disproved it. When Mumia's attorneys requested access to the evidence for their ballistics expert to evaluate it with newer techniques in 2001 the federal judge refused to order access. Moreover, the coroner's report stated that the bullet removed from the officer's head which was the mortal wound was a .44 magnum that could not have been fired or even loaded into Mumia's .38 special. Mumia's hands were never tested for gunpowder residue and the police did not do the common "sniff" test to see if his gun smelled of burnt gunpowder. Moreover, the gun purported to be Faulkner's was dirty, had not been cleaned for a significant time, and had the wrong size handgrips so it could only be fired double action and not single action although the latter is more accurate. The officer was a Vietnam War combat veteran and an avid hunter. He was alone in his patrol car patrolling a dangerous area of the city on the night shift. It makes no sense that he would not have had his gun in perfect operating condition.
@eliotgrossman32 That's all nonsense. Ballistics tests WERE done and the bullet that shot him was definitely Officer Faulkner's. The gun Mumia Abu-Jamal had was registered to his name. Abu-Jamal scraped his hands which would've made testing his hands for residue impossible. The tests later confirmed that the bullets Officer Faulkner was shot with were definitely .38 caliber bullets. Your facts are wrong.
@@brianpomeroy9624 No, your facts are made up. The gun purported to be the officer's was not his. It was a "drop gun" substituted for his gun in order to inculpate Mumia.
@@brianpomeroy9624 There was no evidence Mumia "scraped his hands." The coroner's report said he removed a .44 magnum bullet from the officer's head wound and he put it and a bullet fragment into an evidence envelope and sent it to the police lab. But when the envelope was opened at the lab it contained a .38 caliber and no bullet fragment. Obviously someone tampered with the evidence. So stop lying like the pigs and prosecutors have been lying for over 40 years.
fight the power
That is the key here. It is not racism alone. He was a Black Panther. The key here is the potential threat the BP posed. It would be the same for any white guy in a white organisation that posed a threat to the state, or rather the status quo
This makes my stomach turn...CAR BOMBING, false imprisonment, assassinations...sick
One of NPR's most shameful characteristics... letting one of their own be hung out to dry.
Of course, I don't even remember hearing much about this from the CBC... One of the perks of being in the "misleadership class", I suppose
Par for the course for the filthy slime at NPR.
FBI was trailing him for years.
FREE MUMIA
Free Mumia please.
Fry Mr. Cook, please.
He’s not a political prisoner by any stretch of the imagination. He’s a cold blooded cop killer that’s right where he belongs. It’s amazing how gullible people are.
Not true.
Where you there at the time of the incident?
@@Marcali79 Were you?
@@thadlm2698 it was a question not an answer !
@@Marcali79 You asked if I was there and then I asked if you were there. I would assume the answer is no for the both of us. What we do know is Officer Faulkner was shot and killed and Abu-Jamal was at the scene, shot and seriously wounded. Evidence provided by the prosecution includes four eyewitnesses to the crime who stated that Jamal was the killer. Considerable forensic and ballistic evidence that pointed to Jamal as shooting Officer Faulkner. Also, three witnesses saw and heard Jamal outside the hospital emergency room triumphantly bragging that he had killed the officer. What does Jamal’s brother (the one who was being arrested by Officer Faulkner) have to add to the conversation? Oh yeah, he failed to appear at the appeals hearing for his innocent brother. But I’m sure all of the evidence (reviewed and affirmed by every single court) is all made up lies. As the liberal cop hating LA times wrote in a 2012 news article, “One Problem in Abu-Jamal Crusade: He’s Guilty”. This pretty much sums it up!
That Constitution is being misinterpretated. No monopolies means no government control. Emancipation proclamation... No political, social or legal restrictions. It doesn't mean the government has no restrictions on their power, it means their power doesn't exist. Instead of people following the simple commandments that wrote, people chose a leader ' by vote'. That's how the government entity keeps it's control. Its a false oath sworn to people by other men which has caused many nations to fall. People claim they speak the truth, but they refuse it all. This nation has lead itself into its own trap by throwing away Gods law and writing their own and violently forcing others to conform to these lies. If we are to care for one another, why carry these guns? Killing our innocent mothers, fathers, daughters and sons? Because people rebel against the way if truth. Stealing land food and even our youth. Free mean free, there is no debate. Its merely opinions they deliberate. Who's living the life we were given by God, us or them. There is a tremendous lack of respect for one another's nations. Even children know how to share.Its the corrupt nature of people thoughts that cause them to be so prideful that they can't see the truth. No man can own another man. There's only one way for this slavery to be resolved, and that's by acknowledging THE truth. This government isn't following it's own laws yet want to accuse others. It has become the accusor of our brothers. Merchandise? I think not. There is 1 judge of all, when he says fall, it WILL fall. He has ALL power in his hand, not any political band. No one is going to be justified, who claim the truth as they lied. Today their words will used against them. With their own words, themselves they condemn. As they have judged others, the have judged themselves. Reaping what was sown. His judgement is without mercy where no mercy has been shown. Had people truly believed he was coming back, they would have never forced this attack. I do so pray on your behalf. Trust that God shall have the last laugh. I can feel it in my bones, in the poetry and the musical tones. Even if they wish us to die, we know even thats a lie. Don't you ever stop believing, you know who judgement they are receiving. Always and forever my dear. That glorious day is here 💜
Mumia is clearly innocent and the state apparatus knows it.
I haven’t heard anything in this that proves he didn’t murder a cop, just whining about marginal issues. The question remains did he kill the cop or not? The jury was persuaded he did.
Three Attempts murders optomystic miracles
Mumia Abu-Jamal, rightly convicted murderer. I'm not averse to him being paroled if he admits his guilt. You need to study the entire trial record including the forensics.
Amen. Spread the word. This is all propaganda and nonsense.
You need to read the post-conviction record because the evidence that proves Mumia is innocent was suppressed during the trial and did not come out until afterwards.
because he is a murderer
Is there any proof that he did not killed a police officer or is he looking to beat his case on legal technicalities?
Nine whatsoever. He's guilty. These people are all misinformed.
Both. And violations of constitutional rights are not "legal technicalities" to anyone other than a fascist.
FREE PABLO GONZALEZ journalism is not acrime,held without charge in POLAND .
Well my simple question is then, who shot Officer Faulkner? If MAJ is innocent, than who did the shooting? Faulkner was shot 4 times in the back and then executed while the shooter stood over him and shot him in the face. If MAJ didn’t do it. And his brother didn’t do it, than who did?
To this day, neither Mr. Jamal (whose real name is Wesley Cook) nor his brother, William Cook, will describe the events in the early morning hours of December 9, 1981. Why not?
Good question. Arnold Beverly confessed to the killing of Officer Faulkner in 2001 and exonerated Mumia. You can find a video of his confession on the internet.
@@eliotgrossman32 So, why do Mr. Jamal and his brother William Cook not bring this out in public? Neither one of them is being muzzled by any legal authorities. I am well aware that Mr. Jamal (whose real name, by the way, is Wesley Cook) has published several books from his jail cell and he is also a regular commentator on something called Prison Radio Dot Org. Why does he not use these two platforms to describe what really happened that night? I have read in two different locations that journalists that are granted jail house interviews with Mr. Jamal are cautioned in advance that the ONE thing he will NOT discuss are the events surrounding the murder of Officer Danny Faulkner. Why do he and his brother not come clean, using Mr. Beverly as a reference?
@@eliotgrossman32 Eliot, two of Mr. Jamal's lawyers, Leonard Weinglass and Dan Williams, threatened to walk off the case of Mr. Jamal (aka Wesley Cook) insisted on using Mr. Beverly's testimony.
