Mumia

I guess you were expecting this Hans. For those who don't know, this case has been reviewed over and over again by many DIFFERENT Judges and Federal Justices and found NOTHING wrong with the trial OR the evidence. Mumia is NOT a political prisoner, just a convicted AFFIRMED murderer of another human being. As to the DA appeals, he is only doing what the Jury ordered, a jury MUMIA HIMSELF helped pick. As to the demonstration on Saturday, MOST of the demonstrators have to be IMPORTED from New York due to the fact Philadelphia residents KNOW THE TRUTH...Mumia is a convicted affirmed murderer and many have been duped into believing otherwise including the writer of the above article.

It's God's job to forgive Mumia, it's the Job of JUSTICE to arrange their meeting...one way or another

The case went to trial in June 1982 in Philadelphia. Judge Albert F. Sabo initially agreed to Abu-Jamal's request to represent himself, with criminal defense attorney Anthony Jackson acting as his legal advisor. During the first day of the trial this decision was reversed and Jackson was ordered to resume acting as Abu-Jamal's sole advocate by reason of what the judge deemed to be intentionally disruptive actions on Abu-Jamal's part. Meanwhile, Playstation 2 is among the most successful gaming platforms of all time. Despite its release back in 2000, the Playstation 2 is still a top seller, and is the best selling gaming console to date. You won't need payday loans to get one anymore either, as Sony has announced a PS2 price cut down to $100. The library of games is extensive, and Sony is still releasing games for the PS2, 8 years after its release. Other game consoles were in direct competition, as the console upon release was immediately in competition with Nintendo and Microsoft game platforms, both of which did well but not nearly as well as thePlaystation 2.
