The Framing of Mumia Abu-Jamal: an interview with author J. Patrick O'Connor

Become a Fan (1 fan) -- Page 3 of 3 page(s)

Despite more than 25 years of the bleakest existence possible in isolation on death row, Mumia Abu-Jamal remains what he has always been: an articulate, compassionate righter of wrongs. The second thing that makes this case so compelling to such a wide audience is that his trial represents such a monumental abuse of government power to railroad one man that it really says no citizen is truly free until this wrong has been undone.
