THIS CRITICAL MOMENT IN MUMIA'S CASE, ACIVIL RIGHTS INVESTIGATION
COULD MEANTHE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH FOR HIM.IT COULD
ALSO OPEN THE DOOR FOR MUMIA'S ULTIMATERELEASE. There
is right nowa very dangerous converging of forces committed to the
execution of Mumia. Lynne Abraham, the current District Attorney in
Philadelphia, is calling loudly for the Supreme Court to reinstate
Mumia's death sentence so that Governor Ed Rendell can do what he has
repeatedly promised to do: sign the death warrant. The US
Supreme Court is currently reviewing a death penalty case that could
have serious implications for Mumia. A ruling on Mumia's case could
come anytime. To
cover up the obscenityof their trying to murder an innocent Black man,
a great thinker and revolutionary, they now have a Black man, Seth
Williams,leading the race for those running to replace DA Abraham.
Williams, who is expected to be the next DA of Philadelphia,hasstated
that he believes Mumia is guilty and should be executed. Heis being
actively supported by the Fraternal Order of Police. Finally,on December 9th, the 28th anniversary of the original incident that led to Mumia's incarceration and death sentence, a new film, a hit-piece, called "The Barrel of a Gun" also produced by a Black man, willpremiere both in the US and Germany.
