| Free Mumia Abu Jamal | This page focuses on the Philadelphia activist who is on
Death Row after an extremely questionable trial for the murder
of a policeman (his gun was never tested to determine if it had
been fired, the bullet was originally described as being a different
caliber than the gun, the police alleged an emergency room confession
while a cop whose report stated that Jamal had made no statement
in the emergency room left the city during the trial and did not
testify). Mr. Abu-Jamal's detractors have countered with their
own web site here.
