Dear Jon Pisano,

let me assure you, we know the truth.
Although I believe your question isn't serious.

We know about racism, brutal cops, supremist idiology, corrupt courts and the likes.

In the USA racism and political oppression is rife, as many examples of the unsolved problems of the former slave owning society show us.
From understanding our own histoty with the barbaric Nazi-system including systematic genocide + brutal political oppression we have a clear vision on what the establishment is capable of.

And we know about Mumia Abu-Jamal. He was framed and for the last 13 years everyone involved is scared it might come out. The FOP, Governor Ed Rendell, DA Lynn Abraham... to name just a few.
That is the only reason Mumia didn't get a new trial yet.

Your assessment, that for 27 years Mumia's case was checked by courts, is wrong.
Only a few courts looked at his case so far:

1. the same hanging judge A. Sabo, who send him to death row in the first place,
2. the PASC, who bend every rule existing to deny Mumia his constitutional rights, always hiding behind technicalities...
3. Federal Judge Yohn, who recognized some of the "unregularituies" in the original case and therefor put the death penalty on hold,
4. the 3rd Circuit Court of appeals, who went as far as to invent new legislation by demanding percentage make-ups of the complete jury pool (this is outragious and unprecedented)
and finally the U.S. court, which decision is expected in February 2009.

No U.S. court has ever debated the false and fabricated "evidence" presented by DA McGill in 1982 or the twisting of court procedures, which lead to Mumias conviction. Nor the fact, that a confessing racist was acting as trial judge and always made sure, that the jury would only hear what the DA wanted them to.
They have been all to afraid to discuss the real content of this so called "trial".
Have you ever heard of the human rights organization Amnesty International? In 2000 the wrote a 32 paper strong assessment on the case of Mumia Abu-Jamal. Their conclusion:
"This case was in violation of the international minumum standard of a fair trial..." USA: A Life in the Balance - The case of Mumia Abu-Jamal (AI Index: AMR 51/001/2000)
http://www.amnesty.org/en/library/asset/AMR51/001/2000/en/dom-AMR5100120...

The only way to silence our anger would be to release him.
If a new court case is the road ahead for that so be it.

Mr. Pisano, you probably won't listen but your stance is in vain. History and most likely the international public will tell you.

Yours truly,
