Official Transcript of the May 17 Hearings Before the 3rd Circuit Court
of<br>
Appeals re Mumia Abu-Jamal<br><br>
Posted on September 11, 2007. This is the official transcript of the<br>
important May 17 court hearing for Mumia Abu-Jamal in Philadelphia.
To<br>
preserve its integrity, it has been posted in PDF format. It should
be<br>
a powerful weapon for all those who are struggling for a just
outcome<br>
in this extraordinarily important case. The two audio files of the<br>
hearing, which was taped, are also on this website (see entry for
July<br>
30).<br><br>
"Racism and Injustice: The Trials of Mumia Abu-Jamal"<br><br>
Posted on September 10, 2007. This is Margaret Prescod’s August 7,<br>
2007 “Sojourner Truth” Program on the Case of Mumia Abu-Jamal.
Created<br>
by Margaret Prescod for her KPFK series “Sojourner Truth,” his
program<br>
has been aired by now by many stations and networks. It was aired
for<br>
the first time by WBAI’s “Wake-Up Call” on August 1 and 2 at 6 PM,
and<br>
then on August 7 by KPFK. It is also prominently featured by Radio<br>
Pacifica (see www.pacifica.org). It is prefaced by actor and
prominent<br>
Abu-Jamal supporter Danny Glover (0:55 to 5:10) and introduced by<br>
Margaret Prescod herself (5:25 to 7:20). A core part is Prescod’s<br>
interview with Mumia Abu-Jamal’s lead attorney Robert R. Bryan (7:50<br>
to 18:17). The book author and specialist on the case Dave Lindorff<br>
(Killing Time. An Investigation into the Death Row Case of Mumia<br>
Abu-Jamal) then gives his views for another five minutes (18:18 to<br>
23:10), followed by the British activist Niki Adams (23:10 to 26:25)<br>
and French activist Claude Guillaumaud-Pujol (26:25 Claude to
28:54).<br>
Abu-Jamal’s long-time friend Linn Washington then gives historical<br>
relief to the current struggle over Mumia Abu-Jamal (29:17 to
38:10),<br>
after which the German researcher Michael Schiffmann is given the<br>
opportunity to talk about his book Race Against Death and
particularly<br>
about his discovery of hitherto unknown photographs documenting
police<br>
manipulation of the crime scene where Abu-Jamal was arrested as a<br>
murder suspect in December 1981 (38:10 to 44:16). But appropriately,<br>
the longest stretch of the program is devoted to an interview with<br>
Mumia himself which he gave during one of the rare only four 115<br>
minutes telephone calls per month he is allowed from death row
(45:00<br>
to 58:22). The program ends with final words by Prescod and “freedom<br>
music” (58:22 to 59:40), whereas the second half of this audio file
is<br>
devoted to something not altogether unrelated, namely the wake of<br>
Hurricane Katrina: “Drowning on Dry Land.”<br><br>
Mumia Abu-Jamal: "We Are Fighting for a New Trial"<br><br>
<br>
Posted on September 10, 2007. In July 2007, Margaret Prescod
conducted<br>
interviews with Mumia Abu-Jamal lead attorney Robert R. Bryan,
veteran<br>
Philadelphia journalist Linn Washington, book author Dave Lindorff,<br>
and others. These interviews took place in the wake of the important<br>
May 2007 court hearings on the case of Mumia Abu-Jamal. The series
of<br>
interviews is concluded by a rare interview with the death row
inmate<br>
himself: Mumia talks about how he survives on death row, the
punitive<br>
and repressive trend in America's criminal justice system, and his
own<br>
demand for a new trial. This file is an illustrated transcript of
that<br>
interview.<br><br>
