Mumia Abu-Jamal's lead attorney Robert R. Bryan responds to court ruling

by Abu-Jamal-News.com | 03.28.2008

Following Thursday's court ruling, Mumia Abu-Jamal's lead attorney, Robert R. Bryan, responded in an interview with "Journalists for Mumia Abu-Jamal." The full text is below.

ROBERT R. BRYAN said:

Today's decision is a mixed bag.  That the denial of relief on the racism-in-jury-selection issue was 2-1 is quite good.  Further, the 41-page dissent of Judge Ambro is the strongest I have read.  The paragraph refers to the U.S. Supreme Court case I filed with the court on Monday in my latest brief: Snyder v. Louisiana, 2008 WL 723750 (Mar. 19, 200*), an enormously important decision.  Judge Ambro's dissent is a guiding light to where to go from here.  We will certainly seek a rehearing en banc, which would be addressed to all the justices of the Third Circuit.  The dissent of Judge Ambro is a powerful weapon in that regard.  If all were unsuccessful, we will go to the U.S. Supreme Court.
 

The reversal of the penalty-phase and the ordering of a new jury trial is a clear victory, even though far from my goal.  I will not rest until an entirely new trial is granted, and Mumia is acquitted by a jury.  I intend to see him go home to his family.

Dear Robert Bryan

I have tried several times to find an address to write Mumia.. I consider him to be an incredible human being and would like to get involved in any way I can to help free him.

I have written and published a book which I feel Mumia would really like. I would like to send him a review copy. You can view the Cover, About the book, 4 excerpt and Table of contents. at www.trafford.com/07-1547 . I would be grateful if you could contact him and ask if I can send him this book and/or I can have his address in order to send him the book.

Sincerely Jack Waddington jackwaddington@yahoo.com (310) 828-7749
